The Importance of Being Basque

There is a very proud land and people that live and work and grow and eat on the green hills that straddle Spain and France and the Bay of Biscay. Upon visiting this rich culture, we spent a few days with a cider producer (Egoitz) and a cheese maker (Urtzi) to learn about their product and their pride. Enjoy!
