Istara Ossau-Iraty is a traditional cheese from the Basque Country and Bearn, South West of France. It is a pure sheep milk cheese. It is ivory with a firm, slightly oily texture. Its taste is simultaneously nutty and sweet, with hints of olive, hazelnut and fig.
Istara is a renowned cheese brand hailing from the Basque Country in France, specifically produced in the village of Larceveau. Established in 1964, the Istara cheese dairy has a rich history rooted in pastoral tradition. The brand sources its milk from over 500 family farms in the vicinity, where sheep graze in the lush pastures of the Pyrenees mountains, imparting a distinctive flavor to the cheese.
