Egiazki Patxaran, the iconic Basque Country

Egiazki, liqueurs born in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle

The Egiazki story began in 2013 in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, in the heart of the Basque Country, when Camille and Benjamin Fourt Arteaga decided to create their own artisanal, locally produced Patxaran. Deeply attached to their region and with backgrounds in agriculture and food processing, the two brothers chose to focus their work on this iconic Basque liqueur. Egiazki was officially launched in 2014, after more than a year of research to perfect their Patxaran recipe. Four hectares of blackthorn trees were planted on the hills above their village to bring this project to life. Egiazki Patxaran was first sold in 2015.

The Patxaran, the origin of the range

Patxaran Egiazki remains one of the house's flagship products. Made by macerating wild sloes in anise liqueur, it is distinguished by a less sweet and less anise-flavored recipe, designed to allow the fruit's aromas to shine through. Around this traditional Basque digestif, a whole range of artisanal liqueurs has developed: Patxaka, made with wild apples; Manzana, with notes of green apple and pear; and Jinkoa, which is more exotic and indulgent.

Liqueurs with varied profiles

The Egiazki range also explores other flavors with Menta, a fresh and subtly spiced mint liqueur that has become one of the brand's flagship products, as well as Menta Glaciale, with its more intense freshness. Makatza, made from a rare pear variety native to the Basque Country, completes this collection. Fruity, fresh, sweet, or more intense, each recipe has its own unique character and can be enjoyed as a digestif, neat, on the rocks, or however you wish to savor it.

Handcrafted in the Basque Country

Egiazki liqueurs are crafted in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, where every stage of their production takes place, from the initial fermentation to bottling, labeling, and corking. Over the years, the company has also expanded its portfolio to include other spirits, notably Arana Gin, Odeia Pastis, and Bidaia Ron. Through this range, Egiazki combines Basque liqueurs, artisanal production, and a strong local presence, while continuously evolving its expertise with new creations.
