History and atmosphere
About Añota cider house
Añota cider house, in the Elosiaga neighbourhood of Azpeitia, is set in quiet and very beautiful surroundings. Founded in 1990, it extends the txotx season (when cider is drunk straight from the cask) from January to September thanks to the technology installed in its cellar. Forty per cent of its cider is made from its own apples, with the rest made up of apples from Galicia and Asturias. It currently produces close to 200,000 litres of cider a year.
Añota makes its Euskal Sagardoa with its own apples and those from nearby farmhouses; its orchards are farmed organically. It is the only cider house in the area with its own cider press.
From tree to bottle
Añota’s own house cider
As well as a cider house, it’s a cider maker: it makes its own cider, and what’s served at the table comes from its own cellar.
