Pork: ham in all its forms: whole, in pieces, sliced, boned by hand; ventrèche, lomo, coppa... and the "Cochisson" to discover. Duck: dried duck breast, foie gras, rillettes... Unique!

We're still under the spell of this beautiful Maison, where you don't know where to look anymore, as the ceiling and walls... sing the praises of the Basque Country. It has been making artisanal hams since 1946: the famous Bayonne IGP ham, and the exceptional Kintoa PDO ham, matured for up to 28 months. With a range of Kintoa cured meats - dried lomo, coppa, sausage... - and chipirons, pâté basque, axoa, poulet basquaise, hake koskera... Cédric Bergez prides himself on the quality of his fresh produce, which is rigorously prepared with an emphasis on "traditional taste".

The Bayonne boutique is the perfect showcase for Pierre Oteiza's products. Hanging hams, sausages and chorizos invite you to taste them, as do the wines of Irouléguy. Cooked dishes and the great classics: foies gras, pâtés and the house's latest product, nitrate-free whole-cooked white ham, not forgetting "on egin", his gourmet cones for sharing. This is the kind of excellence and craftsmanship that you'll find in 9 other equally emblematic boutiques, from Paris to Biarritz.

Since 1946, artisanal know-how adapted to traditional cured meat recipes has been part of the DNA of the Basque Country and beyond! Maison Montauzer is one of the jewels of this authentic Basque gastronomy. Among its various stores, its markets and workshops well established in the heart of the region, it is also the radiant showcase of Bayonne which "breathes" the Ibaïama hams of the highest quality... -20 months of maturing minimum -, foies gras, terrines, rillettes, home-made dishes, without forgetting the custom-made gift boxes.

An institution in the Basque Country since 1946, with ancestral know-how! Here you'll find traditional products: hams, pâtés, and the famous Kintoa PDO pork, emblematic of responsible farming and Basque gastronomy. With or without bone, these exceptional hams are produced by hand. In rib steak, sausage, ham and couston, this black pig feeds on acorns and chestnuts, giving it a divine taste. The icing on the cake is the Musée du Jambon at the end of the store, where you can learn about the origins, techniques and know-how of the masters of salting.

We know about South Africans' passion for rugby, but we knew a little less about biltong, dried beef subtly marinated in spices (from Espelette). It's also in the Basque country, in Bayonne, that we discover and appreciate this preparation which gives a particular flavor to the piece of beef. Its nutritional qualities (lean, easily digestible meat...) make it a healthy food to enjoy as an aperitif, in a salad or omelette, or as an energy supplement for sports. An artisanal product that aims for excellence!

The charcuterie bar run by Sébastien, Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2019, with his eloquent CV, bears witness to a real talent that can also be found at Les Halles des Cinq Cantons in Anglet and Biarritz. A store that exudes conviviality and sharing, where you can sample the house's sweet and savoury charcuterie specialities on the spot, at the counter or at the table. A fervent advocate of charcuterie without additives or preservatives, Sébastien is renowned for his signature dishes.

Since 1951, this establishment has been perpetuating its know-how with its family recipes. Facing the Halles de Bayonne, you cannot remain insensitive in front of the butcher's stall, which encourages you not to resist one of its numerous specialties, 100% local and home-made. Cured meats, terrines, meats, cooked dishes, savory pies... The temptation is quickly overcome! In addition to the fresh presentations of the day, you will leave with, in your basket, some beautiful house signatures. Axoa of veal, beef or toro stew, cured hams..

This fine Maison continues its adventure in fine style with the opening of its new boutique: a charcuterie-catering area, and a self-service catering area where you can enjoy a bit of the Basque Country through its artisanal products and traditional dishes, either on the premises or to take away! Bayonne and Kintoa hams, pâtés, preserves, ventrèche, coppa, sausages... and so many other homemade specialties.
