Pasteurized Sheep Milk | Soft Yogurt Cheese Preserved in Olive Oil

Petite Antoines are soft, spreadable cheeses preserved in first-pressed extra virgin olive oil. Choose between plain or traditional Za’atar seasoning. Inspired by the cheeses of the Mediterranean region, these creamy delights are higher in butterfat than cow’s milk cheeses, with a fresh, mellow tang and a rich, dense finish. Perfect for spreading on fresh sourdough, warm baguettes, or bagels, Petite Antoines offer a taste of the old world in every bite.

Weight: Approximately 250 g (150 g cheese, 100 ml oil)

Storage Recommendations

Keep oil level above the cheese to prevent mold growth.
At room temperature, fresh Petite Antoines can be enjoyed for a few days.
For longer storage, keep submerged in oil in a refrigerator or root cellar for several months.

Tasting Notes & Pairings

Flavour: Creamy, soft, and lightly tangy, with subtle richness from the sheep’s milk. Za’atar adds herbal and earthy accents for a slightly exotic twist.

Wine (recommended from our region):
Pairs beautifully with crisp whites such as Pinot Gris or Sauvignon Blanc, which complement the fresh, tangy notes.

Craft Beer or Cider:
Light Pilsners or wheat beers work well with the creamy texture, while a dry cider enhances the mild tang.

Craft Beverage (Non-Alcoholic):
Sparkling water, unsweetened iced tea, or herbal teas cleanse the palate and highlight the cheese’s delicate flavors.
