Another Lamby
Ardi Gasna is the Basque phrase for sheep cheese. This blog is the culmination of my vacation/adventure/fact-finding misssion in the Basque country of France and Spain with my friend Yvonne, and a chronicle of my journey in starting a sheep dairy farm on the Central Coast of Califronia.

You could name her "Susan" for "Black-Eyed Susan," which have Brown centers...so the "Brown-Eyed" part wouldn't confuse people on her face.
And really, how great a name for a sheep is "Susan"?
Duh, I didn't edit my comment. Substitute "Brown" for "Black" and "brown centers..."
Goodness.
Hi Rebecca,
I'm enjoying your blog. Was searching 'basque cheese' as fodder for a novel i'm writing (first draft completed) starring a female basque cheesemaker. Started out in France studying cooking many moons ago. I live in Philly now. I'm going to basque country in July for two weeks (was there two summers ago for first trip). questions if you don't mind answering
- do you really milk them all by hand? how many at a time and how long does it take and how much yield
- most common is sheep's milk in ossau iraty. do any make goat's milk cheese?
- many buy their milk, right? have you bought or do you use all your own milk
looking forward to reading more. -- Lori
