History and atmosphere
About Ola cider house
Ola cider house is in a very special setting: an old ore-washing plant later turned into a mill, which the Bengoetxea family restored and adapted for cider making in 1999. It has an orchard of some 6 hectares with around 1,100 trees. It produces about 75,000 litres of cider a year.
Ola makes organic cider with the Euskal Sagardoa DO, mainly from apples grown in its own orchards, as well as apple juice. It runs guided tours and tastings and sells its products in its online shop.

From tree to bottle
Ola’s own house cider
