Urrizaga cheese factory
With the taste of yesteryear, each day, our endeavour is to continue manufacturing a cheese with the taste of fields and mountains.
The surrounding fields and pastures of Sierra de Urbasa (the mountain range of Urbasa), provide a home for the sheep to graze in peace and tranquillity which allows them to give us an intense, clean and healthy milk. This milk is then elaborated into cheese using the attentive traditions of our ancestors, so that whoever tries the cheese can appreciate all the flavours, tastes, smells and textures that this intense and natural milk provides our cheese every day.
The quality guarantee provided with the Designation of Origin IDIAZABAL.
