Petit Brebis, sheep's milk, Corsica, France, 6.3oz./Each

$19.00

Petit Brebis is a traditional-style sheep’s milk cheese from Corsica, an island with a deeply rooted pastoral cheesemaking culture. These small-format cheeses commonly showcase the rich, slightly sweet and rustic character of Corsican sheep’s milk. 

This cheese is creamy, rich and gently rustic. Sheep’s milk provides a naturally full texture and a subtle sweetness, with flavors that can suggest sweet cream, butter and toasted nuts. As the cheese ripens, expect more pronounced earthy, mushroom and herbaceous notes.

Recommended pairings: Vermentino, Niellucciu, Rosé, Rhône whites
