Our Pikorra
In 1981, Jean Etxeleku gathers about 50 shepherds in order to introduce them to his project: building a dairy. His will is to ensure that each shepherd can obtain a decent revenue from the activity, by developing a range of exceptional cheeses. 30 years later, more than 20 references are sold by the dairy.
