History and atmosphere
About Etxeberria cider house
Etxeberria cider house, founded in 1975 by the current owner’s father, has been remodelled many times over the years. The facilities have been adapted and extended as needs arose, with new technology, new installations and so on. The cider house sits in a spot that stands out not only for its beauty but also as one of Astigarraga’s cider-making areas. Home-grown apples supply 10–20% of its cider production. It currently produces around 150,000 litres of cider a year.
Specialities
Salt cod in green sauce, to order only.
Etxeberria has been bottling cider since 1970 and makes three Euskal Sagardoa ciders with Designation of Origin: the standard one, the Premium and the organic, with apples from its own orchards.
From tree to bottle
Etxeberria’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.
