content: Iber Arranz Otaegin (presenter); Eneko Goiburu; Michael Histon; Colleen Histon (participants) The Goiburu Muru family lives at the Ondarre Basseria farm, built in the sixteenth century in Segura (Gipuzkoa), a region renowned worldwide for its cheese. The family has been sheepherders and cheese makers for at least five generations. In 2014, they won the Ordizia Txapeldun contest for their Idiazabal cheese. Today, three generations of the Goiburu Muru family maintain their way of life based around the natural cycle of sheep birthing, milk production, and cheese making, while their gardens, chickens, and orchards sustain family and guests. Join a discussion on family-owned dairies like the Goiburu Muru family in the Basque region.
