I · The story

Astigar

noun, Basque — the maple

Astigarraga means “the place of maples”. It is also the town at the heart of Basque cider, where farmhouse cider houses still open their barrels each winter for txotx.

Aitor carries the name, the maple leaf and the drink to Amsterdam. He chooses each bottle from Basque producers and delivers it himself, with advice on how to pour it and what to eat with it.

Natural cider

Sagardo naturala: still and dry, with no added sugar or carbonation. Poured from a height to wake it up.

Basque producers

Cider houses and txakoli wineries from the Basque Country, chosen bottle by bottle.

Delivered by Aitor

Order by form or message. Aitor brings it to your door, bar or event in Amsterdam, and tells you how to pour it.

Good to know

What is Basque natural cider?

Can restaurants, bars and events order?

Yes. Aitor supplies restaurants, bars and events as well as homes, and can advise on what to list and how to serve it. Use the advice form to ask for the trade list.

What is the difference between cider and txakoli?

Cider (sagardoa) is fermented apple. Txakoli (txakolina) is a dry, fresh, slightly sparkling white wine from the Basque coast, made in places like Getaria and Hondarribia.
