Basque drinks.
Euskadi has several typical beverages, among them, the best known are Txakoli, cider, and Rioja Alavesa wine. In this sense, there is a clear differentiation between the north and the south of Euskadi. In the north, near the coast, we find mostly txakoli and cider, while in the south, we find the endless vineyards of Rioja Alavesa. But these are not the only typical drinks of Euskadi, we must also take into account the patxaran, the Basaka or the kalimotxo. Here is a brief summary of all of them.
TxakoliTxakoli is a fruity wine from the Basque Country. Although it is a young wine historically speaking, we must say that more and more wineries are opting for a line of txakoli aged in barrels. A wine deeply rooted in our land that in the past was only made for home consumption and that today is one of our greatest culinary treasures.
Sagardoa (cider)Basque cider is another of our great gastronomic attractions. A drink, which is completely different from that of our neighbors from Asturias. In this aspect, we must indicate that besides being able to buy cider of the denomination of origin Euskal Sagardoa, there is also the possibility of tasting it directly from the barrels during the famous txotx.
Rioja Alavesa WineThis is undoubtedly our most international beverage. It is also one of the wines that has accumulated the greatest number of awards over time. Without exaggeration, we have some of the best wines in the world. If you visit this area of Euskadi, we strongly recommend you to visit a winery in Rioja Alavesa.
PatxaranThe patxaran represents that typical rural drink of the interior. A broth created with aniseed, sloes and a lot of love, which usually accompanies the Basque after-dinner drinks. A very traditional drink that we encourage you to taste in every trip to Euskadi. If you are up for it, you can also create your own homemade patxaran.
BasakaBasaka is a drink similar to patxaran. A broth made with acid apples and rich in vitamin C, which provide a very characteristic flavor. This is undoubtedly the least known drink of our land.
KalimotxoAlthough it is not a drink as such, we must say that kalimotxo is, without a doubt, one of the most consumed drinks in our bars. A mixture of coca cola and wine that we encourage you to try. Be careful, don’t be fooled, the better the wine, the better the kalimotxo.
Basque food.
There are many typical foods of our land, but perhaps the most representative can be counted on the fingers of both hands. We leave you some examples so that you can understand the type of food that make up some of our most emblematic dishes.
Beans of TolosaBeans: These beans are well known in the Basque Country as well as abroad. We advise you to buy a good bag, you will see how good they look at your next dinner with friends or family. The best time to try them is at the end of summer, after they have been harvested by the baseritarraz (Basque villagers).
Gernika peppersLike the beans from Tolosa, Gernika peppers are very well known in all parts of the Basque Country and even abroad. Its main characteristics are its tenderness, its size (not very big) and without gabardine (skin that is created on the outside of the bell pepper either by lack of irrigation or other reasons).
Basque D.O. cheese: In the Basque Country, we have several denominations of origin of cheeses, the best known is perhaps the Idiazábal D.O., but not the best, we recommend you to try all of them, we are sure you will love them. It is a luxury for our palate.
Basque CakeOne of our favorites. A typical cake of our land that can be purchased both in bakeries and in the different fairs that take place in Euskadi. Unfortunately, it is not available in any pastry shop. In the villages of Iparralde, also known as French Basque Country, it is usually found more easily.
TxistorraTxistorra is a product similar to chorizo. A typical sausage of Euskadi that has its origin in Navarra. It is usually made with minced pork, garlic, salt, paprika and just over 70% fat. It is usually eaten fried, if possible accompanied by a good talo.
Chilli peppers from IbarraThese chilli peppers, also known as “piparras de Ibarra”, are produced in Ibarra and surroundings (Gipuzkoa). Their great flavor and tenderness have made them famous both inside and outside the Basque Country.
Tiles and cigarettesTejas and cigarettes from Tolosa are one of the most traditional desserts of our land. Undoubtedly one of the most recognized and recommended confectionery products of Euskadi. We love the cigarettes of Casa Eceiza.
GildasGildas are usually found in many bars in the Basque Country, next to our famous pintxos. A type of brochette, which is usually made with olives, piparra and anchovies. But you can also buy them online to taste them at home.
Bonito tunaAlbacore tuna, also known as white tuna, is one of our most authentic products. Thanks to its flavor and texture, tuna has been one of the most used products in Basque gastronomy for centuries.
Basque baskets.
If you want to buy baskets of Basque products for Christmas, packs with some of the most emblematic foods of our land, we recommend you to visit the Basque baskets section of this online store. In it you will find several subcategories: Bask Packs, Eguzkilore Hamper, Elkano Hamper or Bask Christmas. Each of them has a special aspect. For example, all Eguzkilore Hamper packs come with an Eguzkilore seed so that you can plant it in the included pot. On the other hand, Elkano Hamper offers us a nice selection of products with the best of the sea and the land and the Bask Packs and Bask Christmas sections offer us the most traditional packs.
