Etxegarai Curado (Basque Country) – 6 lb (Pack of 2)
Crafted in the Basque Country by the same producer as DOP Idiazabal, Etxegarai is a smoked raw sheep’s milk cheese aged for six months. Its name honors the high mountain farmhouses where shepherds once stored cheese near their fires—naturally infusing it with smoke.
Today, that tradition continues as the cheese is smoked over Hawthorne and Cherry wood, creating a rich, aromatic flavor without additives or preservatives. Smooth yet robust, Etxegarai has a lightly sharp, fruity taste with gentle smoky notes and a distinctive sheep’s milk character.
A versatile cheese, it’s perfect for charcuterie boards, salads, sandwiches, or grated over pasta.
✨ Perfect for:
-
Cheese & charcuterie boards
-
Melting over pastas or rustic dishes
-
Pairing with Spanish reds or ciders
Packaging: 2 wheels x approx. 6 lb each
Origin: Basque Country, Spain
Milk Type: Raw sheep’s milk (Latxa & Assaf breeds)
Aging: 6 months
Smoking: Naturally over Hawthorne & Cherry wood
