  Cheese of the Month Club
Idiazabal, a robust Queso Vasco (Basque cheese), is recognized primarily by its rich, smoky, buttery flavor and a hard, dry texture that feels pleasantly oily when consumed.
The Idiazabal cheeses are usually cylindrical, although they are occasionally cone or octagonal-shaped.
Idiazabal is eaten as a tapa, and also as a dessert in Spain.

According to the CheeseFromSpain.com website idiazabal is a good accompaniment to grilled or barbarque meats, and they even suggest melting it on top of hamburgers.
Even though the amantillado is perfectly dry, the combination of idiazabal and amantillado leaves an ever-so-slight sweetness on the palate that combined with the sharp taste of the sheepsmilk cheese and the dry alcoholic nuttiness of the sherry is almost irresistible - it is addictive.

 Cheese Notes
Idiazabal is from the Basque country of Spain and is a pressed, dense, cooked curd cheese made from the milk of Laxta and Carranzana sheep.
It has a hard, orange to walnut brown natural rind (inedible) and a white to yellowish-beige paste with a proliferation of tiny holes throughout.
With a firm but supple texture and a rich, buttery and nutty flavor with overtones of smoke, Idiazabal pairs beautifully with the red Tempranillo of northern Spain.

 Cheese of the Month Club
Idiazabal is classis, delicious, robust cheese recognized primarily by its rich, smoky flavor – a tradition launched centuries ago when the cheeses were stored near the night fires of the field shepherds because their Spanish Pyrenees mountain huts lacked chimneys.
Idiazabal retains its standing as “the quintessential shepherds’ cheese” and is considered a delicacy among cheese purists.
Other popular uses of Idiazabal include serving it on toasted bread, over salted crackers or grated in salads.
