The Basque. Ossau Iraty Cheese
Description
The Basques have the oldest language in Europe, and one of the most ancient cheeses. Host Will Studd visits the pretty village of Espelette, famous for its red peppers, then into the mountains to one of the few remaining shepherd huts where sheep are still milked by hand. The region is known for its sheep's milk cheese, which goes by many names, including Ossau Iraty in France, and Idiazabal in Spain. Learn the differences and get a glimpse of Basque culture.
