Queso Idiazabal is a traditional Spanish cheese made from the milk of Latxa and Carranzana sheep. Originating from the Basque Country and Navarre, it has a firm texture and a rich, nutty flavor. The cheese is typically aged for at least two months, resulting in a slightly smoky taste due to the traditional smoking process over beech wood. This cheese is often enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and nuts. It is also used in various dishes, adding depth to salads and pasta. Queso Idiazabal is recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product, ensuring its quality and authenticity.
