Idiazabal Foodways

Idiazabal

Specialised

Raw Latxa and Carranzana sheep milk, pressed, aged at least two months, sometimes lightly smoked — a practice that began with cheese kept in the smoke of a shepherd’s hut rather than as a flavour choice. ⚠ ITS PROTECTED ZONE COVERS EUSKADI AND MOST OF NAVARRE, and that is a production rule, not a claim that everything inside it is Basque.

What is recorded
