Base: Onetik Chebris
Produced in the picturesque Basque region of Southern France, Chebris is a naturally-rinded pressed cheese, made to a traditional recipe. The combination of ewe’s and goat’s milk gives this cheese a sweet and creamy flavour with a slightly oily texture. Savoury hints of hazelnut complete the Chebris, as a consistent and interesting table cheese.
Onetik is a unique co-operative, emphasising quality over quantity and preserving tradition. Origin: France | Milk: Goat & Sheep | Weight: 3.2kgSecond: Lincet Le Delice De Bourgogne
This rich cow’s milk cheese is made with whole milk enriched with extra cream. It has a dense, creamy texture similar to that of ice cream when young which gradually becomes softer due to the ripening action of the fluffy white rind.The cheese is at its best when the rind has slightly discoloured and the texture inside has become soft and luscious.
