SKU: 15493
Urepel is a seasonal, limited production sheep’s milk cheese made in France’s Basque country and aged in Spain’s Basque Country. No borders with this cheese - it is a complete Basque production!
Named for a French Basque town from the province of Behe-Nafarroa, Urepel pays homage to Ossau Iraty, the classic Basque ewe’s milk cheese. Production is limited to the months of December through July, so only 2,000 cases are available per year. Once the cheese is formed, it heads to the Spanish side of the Pyrenees to mature for 6-8 months. As the cheese ripens, it is regularly washed to develop a thin tan-colored rind with a semi-firm texture. Distinctive, complex flavors develop during this time period. The final result is a dense cheese with notes of fresh grass and toasted nuts. Perfect with a glass of rosé.
- Made from pasteurized sheep’s milk cheese.
- We cut and wrap this cheese by hand from a 6 lb wheel.

How We Ship
FreshWave Packaging
Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.
For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
