Gaztandegi

The storefront displays a rustic wooden sign and stacks of artisanal cheese wheels visible through the glass. Gaztandegi operates as a specialized shop dedicated to Basque dairy traditions. While many neighborhood markets sell mass-produced food, this shop sources directly from small, family-run farms in the surrounding mountains. One producer regularly delivers Idiazabal cheese made from the raw milk of Latxa sheep. These farmers use traditional smoking techniques over beech wood, which provides the distinctive, sharp profile that keeps customers returning every week.
