    • Our farm is located in the village of Gère-Bélesten not far from Laruns. This is made up of a herd of 400 Basque-Béarnaise ewes for our main activity and around fifty blond d'Aquitaine cows.

      Our farm has been built from generation to generation since 1918 and from father to son.

      From my great-grandfather, to my grandfather and then my father, we all brought our heart and our passion to our profession!

      With sheep's milk, we make Ossau jewels, a farmer's cheese made from raw milk from the Ossau Valley.

      On the farm, the ewes are milked from November 1 to June 30, they go out to pasture all winter and are fed with fodder harvested on our land.

      From July to mid-October we go up in Estive. First, at the foot of the Ossau in the Bious sector, where we carry out manual milking as well as cheese making. Then in the fall on the Ibech estive at the foot of the Lauriolle peak above the village of Bielle. The richness of the estive flora largely contributes to the original taste of estive cheese.

      We offer quality cheese that you can find for sale directly at the Farm but also in a large number of creameries in France...

    Une petite pépite cachée qui vaut entièrement la peine d'être découverte. Un fromage d'excellente qualité et un accueil élevé au même standard. Si vous passez dans la région, vous DEVEZ vous y arrêter ! J'y reviendrai, c'est une certitude.

    I went there yesterday with a friend on our way back from hiking and we were warmly welcomed. I took half a kilo, the cheese is excellent I regret not having taken more, I will definitely come back!
