THE FINER DETAILS
Onetik Chebris
With a wonderful combination of both milks, this cheese has a fudgey texture classic of a semi hard alpine cheese with a creamy nuttiness, yet a cleansing acidity coming from the goats milk. Definitely one of the top mixed milk cheeses.
ORIGIN: Macaye-Pyrénées, France
SUB CATEGORY: Semi Hard/Hard
RECOMMENDED WINE PAIRING:
Regional Selections Yarra Valley Rose
An Ossau Irraty style of cheese, the onetik is made from sheeps milk, this produces a very fatty texture with a mild nutty, creamy flavour. Contrasting this with a crisp pallet cleansing Pinot Noir Based Rose brings out the fruit of the wine and cuts through the fatty texture of the cheese.
