History and atmosphere
About Izeta cider house
Izeta cider house was founded in 1983 by the Iruretagoiena family, with both cider making and hospitality as its main activities. It currently produces around 20,000 litres of cider, which can only be tasted at the cider house itself or in its restaurant, as it is not distributed elsewhere.
Specialities
Ox T-bone steak (txuleta)
Izeta makes two ciders, almost entirely from its own apples grown in Aia and Zarautz: IZ, with the Euskal Sagardoa Designation of Origin and organic, and the classic Izeta. It also makes apple juice, and everything is sold in its online shop.

From tree to bottle
Izeta’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.
