Invented by Lactalis and imported from France, Petit Basque resembles Manchego but has a milder flavor. Made with pure ewe’s milk (female sheep), it is sweet with a nutty finish, and uniquely creamy for a semi-hard cheese.
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.
