Welcome to the Ondarre cheese shop

We don’t just sell any cheese. We sell the best Idiazabal you can find.

D.O. Idiazabal Ondarre cheese is a limited production, artisanal and handmade with milk from our own sheep, which go out to graze every single day of the year. Only four ingredients: milk, rennet from our own lambs, lactic starters, and salt from Añana. Nothing else. It has always been made this way.

But don’t just take our word for it: the awards speak for themselves.

In the last 10 years, we have won the Ordizia Cheese Competition three times—the most prestigious contest of the Idiazabal Designation of Origin—earning the Golden Trophy. In the last 5 years, we have been named the best cheese of the Designation of Origin four times, and we have also won the Basque Country Shepherd Cheese Competition, the Gipuzkoa championship, and many other awards.

The fact that says it all? Half a cheese from our house, weighing 700g, was auctioned for 13,050 euros, making it arguably the most expensive cheese in the world.

When you buy at Ondarre, you aren’t just buying another Idiazabal. You are buying the best.
