The best local producers Mauléon-Licharre/Maule-Lextarre

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!

Beñat, a miller by profession, masters the subject and his passion is communicative. You will learn all about the history and cultivation of chestnuts in the Basque Country, an age-old tradition and a land that is conducive to the cultivation of this tree, which can become several centuries old. It is also a family canning factory where the finest products are selected, in limited quantities and processed by hand. Recognized from now on by the Culinary College of France, it is already the consecration of the know-how!
