Spin Istrian Sheep Cheese 230g

Spin Istrian sheep cheese belongs to the group of hard full-fat cheeses and has a slightly more intense flavor than cow cheese. However, the usual spiciness of sheep milk has been skilfully tamed so that it still remains in the milky and mild register. In the mouth at first one feels the sharpness that reveals the true character of the cheese as a completely natural product of the Istrian pastures. In the middle, the aroma of sheep milk dominates, and notes of fresh grass and herbs emerge towards the rind. More skilled tasters will find hints of sage and thyme. The intoxicating richness of the Istrian pasture that lingers for a long time in the delicious finish will delight you and you will not be able to resist it. The texture of sheep cheese is more brittle than cow cheese, so it does not turn into cream in the mouth, but retains its graininess, which gives it a nice old-fashioned, rustic note.
