About Petit basque

Petit Basque is a semi-hard sheep’s milk cheese from the Basque region of France. Made with pasteurized milk, it offers a creamy, smooth texture and mild flavor with earthy, nutty undertones. Typically aged for about 70 days, Petit Basque is known for its elegant simplicity and versatility across dishes. Nutritionally, sheep’s milk provides higher levels of calcium, protein, and vitamins like B12 compared to cow's milk, making this cheese a richer source of nutrients. However, its fat content is higher, so it should be enjoyed in moderation, particularly by those monitoring calorie or saturated fat intake. Petit Basque is free of artificial additives and is often considered a wholesome option for its pure ingredients, though sodium levels can be relatively high as in most cheeses. Ideal for charcuterie boards or paired with fruits and nuts, it is a delightful addition to Mediterranean-inspired fare.
