Pardou Arriou Brebis Sheep
Pardou Arriou Brebis is a raw sheep's milk cheese from the Ossau Valley in the French Pyrenees, made by Fromagerie Pardou from the milk of Béarnaise sheep. It sits in the Ossau-Iraty family, a pressed mountain brebis with a natural rind and a long, slow finish in cool cellars.
The paste is semi-firm and supple, the kind that gives just slightly under the knife before breaking into a smooth slice. Flavor leads with toasted hazelnut and brown butter, then opens into a sweet, buttery middle with a quiet herbal note in the background, the meadow showing through. The raw milk carries a rich sheep's milk aroma that you only get from animals grazing high pasture.
What makes the Pardou wheels stand out is the affinage. The family works directly with small-scale Pyrenean farmers, often under the traditional dîme system, hand-selecting rounds and aging them slowly so the flavor has time to deepen rather than sharpen. The result is a brebis that reads gentle and elegant rather than aggressive, right in the sweet spot for sheep's milk cheese.
