There is an AOC Ossau-Iraty. It pretends to represent two sheep cheeses of different soils under a single label. The purpose of such simplification is obvious: standardize products in order to adapt to a global market. Cheeses of the Ossau valley are not better than those developed in the Basque Country (namely Ardi-Gasna), but different.
