Aged sheep's milk cheese
Aged sheep's milk cheeses like Manchego, Pecorino, or Ossau-Iraty typically develop complex flavors ranging from nutty and caramel to lanolin and savory umami, with a pronounced tanginess that can vary from mild to sharp. The right pairing should either complement the cheese's richness while cutting through its fattiness (like acidic wines) or harmonize with its nutty, caramelized qualities (like oxidative wines or malt-forward beers).
