Vinegar producers New Aquitaine

Born 5,000 years B.C. from the encounter between alcohol and the air of time, vinegar is the result of a formidable natural alchemy that stings wine and turns it sour (vin-aigre). Jean-Philippe, an award-winning craftsman of taste, owns a handful of vinegar factories in France and produces some fifteen different vinegars fermented in oak barrels using fresh, local produce, with no additives, colorants or sugar. A fascinating visit!

Xipister Etxekoa has found its letters of nobility in the best local recipes and in the seasoned dishes of chefs. A staple of traditional Basque cuisine (an ancestral recipe from the fishermen of Hendaye), xipister can be found on family and gourmet tables. Xipister Etxekoa is handcrafted and family-run: the production and bottling are done by hand in the Bidart laboratory adjoining the boutique-showroom.
