Laious/0.6kg/Ewe/Pasteurised/Animal Rennet/ Hard uncooked pressed/ Pay Basque Basque / 36% fat / Slight sweet nutty smell, rich, nutty floral with caramel flavours.
Despite the imposing size of most Pyrenees cheeses, there are some whose more modest dimensions make it easier to sell. This small tomme de brebis is perfect for a one off present. 
This cheese may be small but its ever so slightly stronger and rustic than its bigger cousins.
It is aged for 3 months in cellars located in Asson at the foot of the Col du Soulor.
 
Laious is perfect with black cherry confit, or as an accompaniment to chanterelles.
 
This ewe cheese appreciates red wines, provided they are not too tannic ( pretty much a rule for any pairing really ), and dry white wines are also ideal for enhancing the slight nutty taste.
