Navarre Cheese & Sheep Breeding Experience with Tasting

Get to know the secrets of the elaboration of artisan cheese from Navarre and enter the world where people and nature have lived together in harmony since ancient times.

In our maturing room, we will explain you the process of elaboration of the cheeses with Idiazabal Denomination of Origin, highlighting its characteristics and production criteria. In addition, we will reveal the secret of the Sixth Sense of cheese and explain why our cheeses are so special.

We invite you to live a unique experience where you will discover the tradition of sheep breeding and our customs, in an environment surrounded by beautiful valleys, and overlooking the Malloas. During the visit to our cheese dairy, we will tour our farm, including the spaces where the sheep rest and the milking room. Depending on the season, you will be able to walk our lambs in the meadow and learn how to milk by hand.

At the end of the visit, become a judge for a day! Enjoy an organic tasting based on the criteria of professional juries, where you can appreciate the nuances of all the varieties of our cheeses, accompanied by our artisan bread.

Navarra Cheese Experience
We loved it! Jessica Huertas

We loved it! They welcomed us with a demonstration of the sheepdog, explained and showed us the entire cheesemaking process and the Idiazabal designation of origin, and finished with a tasting of their cheeses. Peio and Maider are very attentive and friendly, explaining everything very well and very personable! The kids had a lot of fun, and the cheeses were delicious! We bought all the ones they gave us to try! 100% recommended!

Navarra Cheese Experience
It was a wonderful Alba Bellido Altuna

We visited with a group of 12-year-olds and had a great time. They treated us wonderfully. They showed us around the facilities and gave us a demonstration of sheepdogs. We also tried the cheeses they make. 😍 It was a wonderful experience.

Navarra Cheese Experience
A very attentive and friendly Silvia Bejarano

A very attentive and friendly owner explained the process, showed us around the factory, and offered us a wonderful tasting. The cheese was delicious, so it was difficult to choose. It's very close to town and has fantastic views of the mountains.
