You can bring your strawberry back and flip your pear in front of all the delights of Philippe and Angélique, here we speak fruit and reinvent them to leisure! They are mainly derived from local agriculture, without adding sugar or preservatives, and they are used for the development of a particularly inspired craftsman. Fruit juice and compotes, of course, but also jams, frozen, chutneys and fruit pasta await you and are exceptional. Without exaggeration, we love bold, exquisite and rare mixtures like the honey-pumpkin compote and green tomatoes, nashis purée, apple pear, chutney apples, dried apricots, P 'tites Béarnaises to exotic fruit or ginger… to vegetables! The food truck is well known for Palois. In the castle park, his creations are tasted in the afternoon with waffles and home pancakes, handcrafted cookies, ice cream and a good coffee or tea. A gourmet break that we advise you, if only to discover the second life of these fruits that delight the papillae. A great success that the opening of the shop in December should reinforce!

In the orchards of the Monein region, it grows and flourishes in the sun of the Jurançon region, which gives it a beautiful intense yellow color: the Roussanne peach is a real treasure and you absolutely must taste it! Today it is one of the emblems of the local terroir and at the cooperative dedicated to it, you will find the best of the productions of about fifteen members.

The world-famous brand has always inspired emulation!

The concept behind La Mesure grocery store is simple: we choose the quantity we need ourselves. Liquid or solid, just what we need! No need to buy and throw away useless and polluting over-packaging. That's the 0-packaging spirit. Based on this premise, Elise and Benjamin offer vegetables, starches, flour, pasta, oil, vinegar, cereals, jams, coffee, tea, spices, herbs... as well as hygiene, cosmetics and beauty products. The grocery store, which has already been in business for 8 years, now also offers a delicatessen made in the Basque Country.

Each of the farm's pigs is raised for 8 to 11 months on a traceable, non-GMO diet. This allows them to have a meat richer in taste. The company has chosen sustainable agriculture with some of the pigs raised on a straw bed, because unbalanced meat does not allow for good salting. The farm's ham has three IGP Bayonne Ham approvals and is aged for 14 months. The farm also offers pâtés and livers, cheeses and ready-made meals, all of which are successful.

The truffle has long been a mystery as to its nature and origin. Today, we know it's a mushroom, a subterranean cousin of the morel. There are around ten varieties of truffle in Europe. With sales outlets in Biarritz, Bayonne, Anglet, Bordeaux, Dax and Paris, Maison Balme is a benchmark for truffles, but it's first and foremost a story of 4 generations of truffle-growing families.

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.
