L'Estanguet

Louis Madec began his career as a shepherd before transitioning to aging cheese. Leading his sheep across the high mountain pastures and making cheese in a traditional cauldron gave him an appreciation for livestock farming and cheesemaking. Working with small producers in the valleys of the Upper Béarn, he selects cheeses with an objective of respect for the product, traditions, and the terroir. In addition to those traditional cheeses, he also ages some more innovative styles. L'Estanguet, a semi-firm goat cheese washed with Jurançon wine, is a result of such innovation. Sweet, creamy, tangy and nutty, the complex flavor of this goat tomme has quickly become a staff favorite!
