Tete de Moine (or P'tit Basque, young Manchego, Ossau-Iraty)

• Milk source: Sheep
• Cheese characteristics: This cheese has a good amount of salt and nutty characteristics, similar to melted brown butter. The texture is smooth, not rough or crumbly.
• Wine and cheese together: The nutty and buttery cheese creates a deeper, richer flavor in the wine, which balance out the citrus notes.
• Accompaniment: Lighter toasted Marcona or regular almonds.
