History of the Ossau Iraty cheese As early as the 1st century, the latin writer Martial mentions the presence of cheeses from the Pyrénées at the markets of Toulouse. In the 14th century ewes milk cheese became a recognised value of exchange in return for rent or goods and it constituted the main souce of the revenue for the shepherds. This ancestral production has developed and still endures today. In the 1970s, the milk of the ewes collected in Béarn and the Basque Region were transformed into Roquefort cheese. This export had a major influence on the development of the ovine dairy production in the region, in which its volumes increased by an important amount. Since the 1970s, the local production of Roquefort has fallen and been replaced by the dairy fabrication of traditional, local ewes milk cheese. From 1975, faced with the risk of seeing the traditional ewes milk cheese become a product of the diversification of the AOC Roquefort, the producers of Béarn and the Basque Region as well as the other producers of the same field created a syndicate to protect and obtain the acknowledgement of the Ossau Iraty cheese as AOC. ul7U2. 468 485 19 99 407 464 35 467 259
