Brebirousse d’Argental is a stunning French soft-ripened sheep’s milk cheese that immediately catches the eye with its bright orange washed rind and lusciously creamy interior. Hailing from the Rhône-Alpes region, this triple-cream beauty is made by adding extra cream to already rich sheep’s milk, resulting in an incredibly decadent cheese with a fat content around 60%. The paste is ivory-colored and becomes increasingly gooey and spoonable as it ripens, developing a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture under its thin, edible rind.
Despite its indulgent creaminess, Brebirousse d’Argental has a surprisingly gentle, nuanced flavor. It’s milky and slightly sweet, with grassy undertones and a touch of nuttiness from the sheep’s milk. There’s also a faint tang and earthiness that balances out the richness beautifully. It’s perfect spread on a crusty baguette, paired with fig jam, or served alongside toasted walnuts and ripe stone fruits.
