Idiazabal cheese: route to know it

In the call Basque Bavaria, about 30 minutes from San Sebastián, we enter the Oria Valley, in the population of ordizia, very close to Beasain. We left behind ordizia, with some of the oldest markets in the the Basque Country with more than 500 years and that continues to be held every Wednesday. The valley is one of the places where one of the most emblematic cheeses full Iberian Peninsula. We are talking about Idiazabal cheese. We visit a cheese dairy.

Idiazabal cheese made by hand

Although the appellation of origin extends over the Basque Country and Navarre, with the exception of the Roncal Valley, this is a very interesting place to visit cheese shops, see their elaboration and taste the Idiazabal cheese.

We visit the small cheese factory ondarre, in the beautiful medieval town of Segura, just three km from idiazabal. This is handmade and also its owners are still shepherds of their sheep latxas.
