A company on a human scale

18 people. This is the number of employees who work to promote the brand in the Basque Country and beyond its borders. Ederki is a company on a human scale, although the range of products in their catalog is impressive, it is love for good work, noble raw materials and very good organization that is the basis of their success. The vegetables used in vegetarian culinary preparations or used in the composition of a cooked meat or fish dish are all carefully selected, harvested when ripe and from the Landes or Navarre. The meats are guaranteed of origin from the South-West and the Basque Country, as far as possible! Established in Mouguerre (a small village to the south-east of Bayonne), the company has known its letters of nobility thanks to its range of products for the aperitif: nothing surprising in that when you know that tapas and pintxos are an integral part of Basque culinary culture. These are small bites to be enjoyed with picks or fingers, presented in cassolettes and which are shared, enjoyed with friends or family. Did you know that the brand started selling asparagus from Navarre around 75 years ago? You will still find them in their catalog today, in quality jars to enjoy them all year round...
