History and atmosphere
About Oiharte cider house
A family cider house making natural cider in new facilities, taking particular care over cleanliness and nurturing the cider’s fermentation under the guidance of an oenologist.
The cider house menu consists of salt cod omelette, a thick piece of salt cod, T-bone steak (txuleta) and Idiazabal cheese with quince paste and walnuts.
Oiharte makes cider with the Euskal Sagardoa DO, including organic and premium ones, and has broadened its range with sparkling cider, ice cider, hopped cider and organic apple juice. It sells online and at the cider house, and organises visits with a meal.
Specialities

From tree to bottle
Oiharte’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
