Mini Basque

Mini Basque. This is another aged sheep milk cheese made in the French Pyrenees. Mini Basque is a larger production version of a really famous French cheese called P'tit Basque. This is sort of an homage to that traditional cheese. It's just made on a larger scale and it's more readily available and less expensive. Like Manchego, it's going to have higher fat content. It's also got a wax rind and it's got kind of, like, a springier, semi-soft texture. This is a really easy-eating cheese. Hmm, the main thing I think of when I taste this cheese is coconut. It doesn't actually taste like eating a coconut, but the, like, fatty richness of coconut is what this cheese is all about. It too has some of those kind of mac and cheesy flavors. Everyone will like this cheese. It is one that I strongly encourage you to try if you haven't already had it and if it's one you know, to keep it on your regular rotation.
