History and atmosphere
About Egiluze cider house
Egi-luze cider house was founded in 1980 in the family farmhouse of the same name. Over almost 30 years it has gone through many changes and adaptations to meet new needs. Today it is a very large, welcoming cider house in an enviable natural setting, on the way to the well-known Landarbaso caves. It is surrounded by a vast apple orchard that supplies part of the apples for its cider. Following major investment in state-of-the-art technology, it now produces around 250,000 litres of cider a year.
Egi-Luze makes its Euskal Sagardoa with apples from its own orchards, some with trees more than fifty years old.

From tree to bottle
Egiluze’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.
Quality labels
- DO Euskal Sagardoa Designation of origin for natural Basque cider: only local apples from registered orchards in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, not pasteurised and with no added gas. The French Basque Country joins through the cross-border PDO, pending in the EU. The seal goes on each bottle, not on the cider maker.
- Gorenak Collective mark of a group of Gipuzkoa cider houses (Sagardo Mahaia), created in 2011, for bottled natural cider only. Every batch is tested at the provincial Fraisoro laboratory. It does not certify where the apples come from. You can tell it by the black capsule.
