As announced recently, our Facebook Cheese Study Group is offering a new learning tool: “Cheese of the Day”. Administrators of the group will post cheese profiles that ACS CCP Exam® candidates and turophiles need to know. ACS CCP® Liz Nerud introduced our first “Cheese of the Day”: Ossau Iraty. Here’s what she shared:
Good Morning Turophiles! Welcome to the inaugural installment of our hotly anticipated series called “Cheese of the Day”! Follow along as we examine a new cheese every day. Use this as a springboard for study and apply every domain of the body of knowledge to it, so as to learn and apply context to your education. Pay attention to geography, animal breeds, milk composition, cheesemaking techniques, serving tips, and so forth. And be sure to get ahold of the cheese if you can, and eat it! So without further ado, I present to you the cheese featured on page 532 of the Oxford Companion to Cheese: OSSAU-IRATY! Sheep’s milk, from the Bearne and Basque regions of France. It received AOC status in 1980, and PDO in 1996. Here are a bunch of links to study from. Keep calm and study on!
