A French cheese, from Corsica, which is made from sheep's milk. Produced as a small round wheel, Brebichon has the edible outer rind of penicillium candidum that is common on the soft ripened cheese varieties, giving it a small biscuit look to an unopened cheese. Within, the cheese has a creamy, bright white texture that provides a rich and somewhat nutty flavor. Unlike other soft ripened cheeses, Brebichon does not become runny in the center as it ages.
