Story: Brebirousse is a rare soft sheep cheese. Don't let the red crust fool you this is not a washed rind, but the flavor is still full and funky. The first thought when this one hits your tongue is cream cheese. It has a thick, gummy texture and a rich backbone balanced by lactic tang. Wait one second and the flavor will devolop into an hearty animaly punch.

Pairings: Local Reds and Whites (Bergerac sec anyone?) Champagne, Pilsners
