Onetik

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

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 complete range of cheeses made from sheep's milk (including the PDO Ossau-Iraty), cow and Goat. In these cheeses with a unique taste, all the richness and diversity of the landscapes and Basque characters are expressed.

You can find these cheeses directly at the shop in Macaye open Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm (all year, except public holidays).

Visits to the farm :
Every summer, the producers of the ONETIK cheese dairy make you discover their herd, the dog that watches over it and their installations. 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 !

Upon return from the visit, a tasting is offered at the shop to all participants. For everyone's safety, wearing a mask is compulsory for the duration of the visit.

Silver medal at the Mondial du Fromage 2017 and gold medal at the Salon du Fromage 2018.

The Bleu des Basques
The Bleu des Basques has a crust similar to that of a tomme. It offers aromas similar to those of a Roquefort but much milder. The floral notes are more present, the result of a more advanced refining. Its texture is both slightly crumbly and smooth. Created in 2001 to complete the range dominated by the traditional Ossau-Iraty. Bleu des Basques was voted Flavor of the Year, the year it was launched. He received the Gold Medal of the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, which quickly reinforced the dynamism of the brand.

Silver medal at the 2018 International Cheese Awards.
