According to tradition, each year shepherds and their flocks walk up
to the mountainside.
Every day, they will make cheeses with their animals’ raw milk, délicate and mellow, in the respect of tradition.
The following day, the cheeses are transported into our mountain tunnel to start the refining process.
After the cheeses have started drying, they are rubbed with salt from Salies-de-Bearn.
Then they are patiently refined, wiped, rubbed and turned over every other day on the fir wood planks.
The cheese rind is completely natural, without any chemical colouring or plastifying process. The colour ranges from orange/yellow to brown or grey.
The hand-made cheeses refined and sold by the PARDOU cheesemaking company are all made in the mountains.
Taste, first and foremost.
Matured in a mountain tunnel in the Ossau Valley.
