Sidreria Izeta - IZ Basque Natural Cider (750 mL)
Sidreria Izeta - IZ Basque Natural Cider (750 mL)
Sidrería Izeta makes two different ciders each season, including Iz, which is their blend made from 100% locally-grown apples. The apples used in this Spanish Cider are from their own farm's apple trees and from other farmhouses located along the Urola coast in Spain's Basque Country. The balance contributed by the different apple trees in Izeta provides an extraordinary flavor in IZ cider. Mouthwatering acidity, fresh green apple and sweet lemon flavors, and a soft & balancing tannin character most likely from time spent in barrel.
This cider is made with certified organic apples, and with no added sulfites.
Origins & Quality: Izeta's Iz cider is a traditional Basque Country Sagardoa. Spanish cider brands are eligible to receive a certified Basque Cider Denomination of Origin. The ciders bearing the Euskal Sagardoa seal have two main characteristics: they are made from 100% local apples from Basque Country, and have a quality guarantee. The Euskal Sagardoa seal is wrapped around the top of each bottle and is either red or gold. Both meet minimum quality standards established by the local apple & cider community; though a Gold label is an indication of the highest premium quality.

Izeta is made by a family with two passions: making cider and Basque strength sports known as Harri-jasotzea (stone lifting). For five generations they have been well-known in the area for both reasons. The Ayeta Goikoa farmhouse was converted into the Izeta Cider House in 1983 by Manuel who never looked back. Three decades later his grandson, Gotzon, oversees cider production. The family is imbued into the greater Basque community as a provider of great entertainment and delectable, old-style cider
