Onetik Artisans, Craftsmen (Visits and Workshops) in Macaye

For more than 40 years, the ONETIK cheese dairy has been producing authentic and tasty Basque cheeses with the greatest respect for tradition.

Located in Macaye, a small village in the Basque Country, ONETIK collects milk from more than 200 farms to transform it, in its workshops, into a full range of cheeses made from sheep's milk (including PDO Ossau-Iraty), cow's milk and Goat.

In these cheeses with a unique taste, it is all the richness and diversity of the Basque landscapes and characters that are expressed.

Every summer, the producers of the ONETIK cheese dairy introduce you to their herd, the dog that watches over it and their facilities. They explain to you all the care taken in breeding to produce good milk which in turn will make good cheese.

A story of Basque passions!
