I think it is fitting to say that if you like cheese like I do, you should definitely give Istara Petit Basque Cheese or P’tit Basque a chance. I’m not only saying this because I have a plate of it right next to me at the moment, but because if you’re learning how to count in Basque then why not practice your counting skills with teeny blocks of P’tit Basque?
Three fast facts about P’tit Basque:
- It was first produced in 1997 by Lactalis, a French dairy company
- It is aged for only 70 days
- It is made from sheep’s milk from sheep in the French Pyrenees Mountains
Actually, I should do that too. I should practice counting Basque numbers with cheese. See how many teeny blocks I can count in one sitting. Count, not eat. Because eating up to one hundred teeny blocks of P’tit Basque sounds a bit much for me. I love cheese, but I think pacing my cheese eating would be best for myself and for my tummy.
