Regional grocery cheese and cream shops

Renovated into a fully-fledged cheese dairy, this cayolar situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters above the Holzarte Gorge in Larrau, on the cheese route, enables four breeders from Mauléon, Moncayolle and Barcus to produce one tonne of cheese a year, i.e. around 400 pieces of pure ewe's milk cheese, labelled Ossau-Iraty.
