Unfortunately I do not speak Spanish or Basque and the tour to the farm/factory was all in those two languages so the film shown at the farm was incomprehensible to me. The guide/driver did speak English but he could not devote his time to me or speak over the commentary on the film. The Idiazabal is sheep's cheese and un-pasteurised so I didn't think I could bring it back into the UK but in this I was wrong I could have brought some home for personal use, the samples I had at the farm were delicious, I'm sorry I did not buy some. The tourist office who sold me the tour were confused when I returned to them to tell them about the tour they apparently thought the tour would be in English, clearly they did not know what they had sold me! The tour started at a lookout but it was raining and the view was obscured by the low cloud and heavy rainfall. We were exceptionally lucky to see a heard of sheep being driven up to the hills for the summer, this occurs at the start of May, shepherd leading and Basque sheep dog at the rear of the flock.

The cheese was AMAZING. And Begonia was a lovely host, guide and driver. We had a lovely time hearing about the cheese making process, meeting some of the sheep, and of course tasting the incredible end result. Let's hope the cheese we bought lasts more than a one sitting when we get home - it is so delicious it becomes difficult to stop eating it :D

Imma old was an incredibly knowledgeable, interesting, and kind tour guide who took his time to show us the beautiful Basque countryside. Our tour of the farm was just as lovely, and having the opportunity to break bread and taste cheese with a passionate artisan was really delightful. Would recommend that visitors who are passionate about the quality of food go on this tour!

We did the family tour. We are cheese lovers and had this visit long pending. It was all very pleasant and easy. The Ane Guide treated us fantastically and her explanations were enjoyable and accurate. Highly recommended for cheese lovers, animals and nature.
