Onetik Bleu Des Basques Brebis
Description
Is Roquefort a little too overpowering for you? Here’s an excellent alternative! The fine veins of mould running through this soft and crumbly ewe’s-milk blue give it a briny aroma and a
long finish. The ideal way to end a dinner, it is the perfect addition to any cheese plate. Try it with a Domfront AOC Perry to soften the saltiness of the cheese and pave the way for
dessert.
Serve accompanied by a good slice of rye bread and a glass of wine such as sweet red wines Banyuls or Sauternes.
Bleu des Basques has a natural beige-coloured rind and cream-coloured paste with very thin, fine blue-gray veins spread throughout. With a semi-firm texture, creamy on the tongue, the Bleu des Basques has a full, nutty, buttery and faintly sweet flavour. It also has a wonderful combination of earthy spiciness and hints of apricot. A real treat at any time of the day.
