Idiazabal territory. Visit a Goierri cheese maker

Come to the village that gives its name to the typical cheese of the Basque Country, the birthplace of Idiazabal, and discover this cheese with a shepherd who has won the SUPER GOLD medal at the world cheese championships, as well as winning the prestigious Ordizia cheese competition several times. With him you'll be able to make an Idiazabal cheese in the traditional manner. Then you can visit the cheesemaking facilities and try different varieties of this exquisite product, lovingly made by this family of shepherds who have been in the trade for decades: white and smoked, young and mature.

Recommendations

  • Sample the tasty Idiazabal cheese in its homeland, learning about its production process.
  • Understand the work of a shepherd and accompany one while he directs his flock.
  • Visit dairies and authentic shepherd cabins.
