Directions Gaec Peyrole - A quality sheep's cheese produced at the foot of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau

About

  • English
    • Our farm is located at the entrance to Laruns next to Intermarché. We raise a flock of 350 ewes with which we produce sheep's cheese.

      Our animals are of the Basque-Béarnaise breed, a hardy breed perfectly suited to our region. In winter they go out to graze every day unless the weather permits, and in the evening they return to the sheepfold where they are given good fodder harvested on our farm.

      In the summer we move our livestock to the Pombie summer pasture located at the foot of the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, it is there that we produce the famous summer cheese with incomparable flavors thanks to an exclusive use of herbs rich in flowers (licorice, thyme…).

      Our cheeses are matured in our maturing cellar, where we take care of them every day by rubbing and turning them for several months so that they gradually develop all their aromas.

      We also make greuil, an excellent and very popular product, very rich in protein and low in fat! What more could you ask for! You can enjoy it however you like! Sweet or savory! It can be used in many recipes!

      Mélanie will be happy to welcome you to taste our products and share our profession with you.

      The store is open every day.

      IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION, WE HAVE AN APARTMENT TO OFFER YOU!
