Our Beret shots

Every month we put a "Basque" beret on : a place , a person , a product , a recipe , which carries the values ​​of Slow Food Bizi Ona ( Good, Clean and fair ) and of the Basque Country.

Let's get back to the point

Originating in the Basque mountains, the Sasi Ardi sheep , also known as " Muttur Gorri ," played a key role in landscape maintenance alongside the Pottok and Betizu ponies. Once essential to small farms for its festive meat, it was supplanted in the 20th century by the more productive Manech Tête Rousse. Threatened with extinction, it has been the subject of preservation efforts culminating in the creation of the Sasi Artalde association in 2014, its official recognition in 2016, and an award from the Heritage Foundation in 2017. The Sasi Ardi is a Slow Food Ark of Taste .
