Tomme Corse Brebis

For 150 years, the Ottavi family's legacy has been passed down from generation to generation with a deep respect for tradition. Nestled in the Fium'Orbu Valley in Haute Corse, they work with the same passion as their ancestors to create cheeses that reflect their land and history. Their cheesemaking adventure began in 1948, when the generation in charge decided to create the Ottavi cheese dairy. From the beginning, everything was handmade and sold directly to locals, door to door. It is this proximity to people and to nature that has forged their identity. In the 1960s, faced with the growing success of their products, they decided to focus exclusively on cheese and maintaining traditional methods. Despite the changes of time, they remain committed to the ancestral practices passed down through the years and continue to produce cheeses with the same care to ensure authenticity. Each cheese is a way for them to extend this family heritage, while sharing a little of the Corsica they love so much. Tomme Corse Brebis is made from sheep’s milk and aged in the Ottavi cellars for three months where it develops its fruity and nutty taste. Excellent as a snack or grated over salads and pasta!
