Profile
This artisanal cheese is named after its maker, M.C. Matocq, who produces it from sheep (brebis) and cows (vache) milk in the town of Asson in the Bearn. Matocq falls into the AOC Category.
This is a semi hard, well structured, cheese with a slightly smooth textured pate. The wonderful contrast of the nutty rind is a feature of Pyrenees & Basque cheeses. A good balance of acidity and salt, combined with the mixed milks create a sweetness on the palate.
