Etorki is a firm cheese made in the French Basque country, at Mauléon-Licharre in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.[1] It is made from pasteurized sheep milk and pulp pressed, not cooked, then matured for seven weeks.[1]

Etorki is produced in ten-inch by four-inch cylinders weighing ten pounds.[1] Cheese critics describe Etorki as "smooth, supple, and velvety."[1]
