Idiazabal is a traditional Spanish cheese made from the milk of Latxa or Carranzana sheep. Originating from the Basque Country and Navarre, it is known for its firm texture and rich, nutty flavor. The cheese is typically aged for at least two months, developing a distinctive yellow rind and a slightly smoky taste due to the traditional smoking process. This cheese is often enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and nuts. It can also be used in various dishes, adding depth to salads, sandwiches, and cheese boards. Idiazabal is a protected designation of origin (PDO) product, ensuring its quality and authenticity.
