About Abbaye de Belloc Cheese
Abbaye de Belloc is a semi-hard, artisan cheese made from unpasteurized sheep's milk in the Pays Basque region of France. It is known for its smooth, yellow interior and natural rind. The cheese offers a flavor profile reminiscent of burnt caramel, providing a rich and slightly sweet taste. Its aroma is characterized by a lanoline scent, typical of sheep's milk cheeses. Abbaye de Belloc is traditionally produced by monks, adding a sense of history and craftsmanship to each wheel. Enjoy it on its own or as part of a cheese platter to appreciate its unique taste and texture.
