Fromager d’Affinois Brebicet

A melt-in-your-mouth sheep cheese

Brebicet begins with sheep’s milk, which naturally has a higher fat content than cow or goat milk, making this cheese especially creamy. On the nose, the cheese has an earthy warmth reminiscent of hay or wool, with a soft, musky aroma. On the palate, it finishes with a crisp tanginess that balances its earthiness. It’s a pleasurable bite, leaving a rich, satin-like sensation on the tongue.
