English
- In the heart of the Irouléguy vineyards, a building with an unusual stamp...
  
  A palm tree on a cheese! The Elizarea family farm has been passed down from father to son for 5 centuries. At the controls, the Etchepare brothers. Alain and André started, a few years ago, by raising sheep before embarking on the production of veal axoa, mutton tagine, mutton cassoulet and especially raw sheep's milk cheese. A real passion!
  
  Production is seasonal (December to June), then the transhumant herd during the summer in the Hautes Pyrénées.
  
  Ready to welcome you, they will answer all your questions, proud to pass on part of their passion to you by showing you around their farm and tasting their cheese, a pure Ossau-Iraty sheep cheese (made from raw sheep's milk).
  
  A DELIGHT!
  
  Present on the markets of Cambo-les-Bains, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry.
  Palm tree fair in Hendaye every Tuesday.
  Also on Monday at the traditional market in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and on Thursday at the producer market in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

For 13 years, we have been stocking up on cheese at the Elizarea family farm. Raw milk sheep cheese is absolutely delicious. We have always been warmly welcomed. We appreciate the authenticity of the exchanges. We highly recommend!

We went there during our vacation and tasted the two cheeses they had, the young one and another more mature one. We bought both, they were delicious. Very nice deal. On our YouTube channel (DreamTravelDream) you can see it (episode 7 of our route through Navarre).
