History of the cheese

The Mark of origin was born in 1987 to defend the shepherds of Latxas and Carranzanas sheep and the production of IDIAZABAL cheese, and to guarantee for the consumer its origin and quality.

There are currently a total of around 500 cattle farms and more than 100 cheese farms that have been granted the Mark of Origin, the majority of which only use milk from their own business. In any case, their size guarantees craftsmanship and care in both production and maturing to perfection.
