A French Cheese Takes the Title. Esquirrou, the winning cheese, is made from the unpasteurized milk of black and red-faced sheep.

Lotura: The New York Times

Front Burnerm by Florence Fabricant. At the World Cheese Championships held last month in Madison, Wis., the grand prize winner was Esquirrou, a sheep-milk cheese from France’s Basque region. Despite the hundreds of cheeses produced in France, it was the first time a French cheese had been crowned. There were 3,402 cheeses in the competition. The cheese, made from the unpasteurized milk of black and red-faced sheep and aged for six months, has a pale amber rind and delivers a toasty brioche scent with herbaceous notes. Its texture is smooth, on the firm side; it has a lingering, nutty flavor; and it melts beautifully: $32 a pound at Dean & DeLuca stores in New York.
