Regional cheese and cream stores Aldudes/Aldude

From father to son and daughter, the Feranyo farm has developed ewe breeding for the production of farmhouse cheese in the purest tradition of know-how. Overlooking the superb Aldudes valley, surrounded by immense natural meadows, the farm produces one of the finest AOC Ossau Iraty ewe's milk cheeses. With a pre-ripening period of 20 to 30 days at 13°C, followed by a main ripening period of 90 to 120 days, depending on the size of the tommes, the ewe's milk cheeses are ready to be enjoyed. The farm also has a free-range Kintoa pig farm.

Located in Esnazu, high above the Aldudes mountains, the farm has two passionately-practiced activities: breeding Manex Tête Noire and Tête Rousse ewes, and producing farmhouse PDO Ossau-Iraty cheese. Farmhouse sheep cheeses made from raw PDO Ossau-Iraty milk, with the particularity of maturing in wet cellars, which is atypical in the valley. Visits are organized by appointment to better understand the different stages of production. In the opinion of gourmets, this is undoubtedly one of the best Basque ewe's milk cheeses that you can also take home.
