At the foot of Mondarrain, Ferme Elharra produces AOC-AOP Espelette chillies and raises dairy cows. This ^18th-century building is home to a family pepper farm that has been handed down from generation to generation, and has won several awards at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris. The cultivation of chillies, the red gold of the Basque country, is firmly rooted in this rural heritage. It plays an essential role in Basque cuisine, with recipes and accompaniments for meat, fish, foie gras and even chocolate.

Know how to spice up your life could be the motto of Biper-Ona, or "the good pepper"; producer of its state for 3 generations. The Pocorena family grows and produces the famous "red gold", a PDO pepper of superior quality and subtle taste, which is perfect to accompany or even enhance fish, omelets, poultry or meat. Chefs are not mistaken with multiple variations also for cured meats.

Authenticity, flavors... Virginie is the inspiration! A welcome that reflects her passion for chili and its variations. She explains with simplicity and legitimacy (she is a producer and knows the subject) all the production chain, from planting to harvesting, from drying and grinding to obtaining Espelette chilli powder. An impressive range of pure and derived products, including organic ones. Also local productions: honey, Basque cookies, foie gras, Irouléguy wines and a beautiful range of coffees, teas, herbal teas.

In the heart of the village, Jean-Baptiste and Maïté's farm shows its differences. the farm produces 4,000 hams aged between 20 and 24 months.

Small in surface area, but large and rich in quality, with a selection of organic, biodynamic and natural wines and spirits from the regions, our specialist's cellar reveals real treasures.

A trained sommelier, Alexandre also organizes tasting evenings accompanied by charcuterie platters, with an open stage for musicians. A great initiative that we really appreciate.

Guéthary in the "rising sun"... It's with the Basque-Japanese grocery store Yaoya (Japanese for greengrocer) located in the heart of the village, on the site of an old grocery store. Aï and Cédric, who were not predestined for the grocery trade, fell in love with this typical Basque coastal village, but also with the rebirth of this center of life where local and organic produce are combined with traditional Japanese products. Yaoya is a model of usefulness, a sample of living together. With meditation and massage workshops.
