Welcome
TO THE HOME OF ONDARRE CHEESE AND RELAXATION
The Aizkorri mountain range overlooks one of the most spectacular pastures in the Basque Country, Ondarre, in the wetlands of Segura.
We live in this beautiful place among sheep, and we are delighted to welcome visitors who come to enjoy our farmhouse and our cheese.
After 7 generations, our family shepherds continue to make cheese, as it is our heritage, Ondarre cheese.
BEYOND WRITING THE DAILY DIARY OF CHEESE, AT ONDARRE
FARMHOUSE VISITORS’ SENSES ARE STIRRED…
RELAXING HERE IS TRULY A PLEASURE.
Welcome to Ondarre farmhouse. It is located in Segura, in one of the few
remaining wetlands in the Basque Country. This beautiful red-brick
farmhouse is a 16th-century building that we renovated in 2000 to become
a rural guest house. At the foot of the town of Segura, Ondarre is surrounded
by the flat pastures where our flock lives and the waters of the Oria river.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS,
COME TO ONDARRE!
We don’t just offer another visit to a cheese factory. We give you the chance to walk through a farmhouse nearly 500 years old, where eight generations of the same family have made cheese the same way, and finish by tasting an Idiazabal that has won the most important awards in the country.

IT IS A NATURAL FOOD WITH GREAT FLAVOR, CHARACTER AND QUALITY
THE TRADITIONAL
WAY
WE RELY ON WHAT MY FATHER TAUGHT ME AND WHAT HIS FATHER TAUGHT HIM
AT ONDARRE TO MAKE REAL NATURAL CHEESE
WITH THE MILK OF OUR LATXA SHEEP.
The process is entirely artisanal and we use rennet collected from the lambs of our flock
to make the cheese. We keep the cheeses under supervision at all times,
stored with care, and only sell them when they have the right level of maturity.
Some of these are smoked,
just as my grandfather and our ancestors used to do.
