LOCAL PRODUCTS
Taste the local products of HIRUMA
Hiruma grows and makes a variety of local products that highlight the efforts and sustainable work carried out by different producers.
Organic farming is also a major activity here, hence the importance of pastureland, livestock and farmhouses.
HIRUMA’s primary sector mainly focuses on the following products, some of which carry the Euskolabel seal of quality.
OUR PRODUCTS
Salt
HIRUMA’s salt pans are located in Leintz-Gatzaga. This product, often referred to as white gold, is produced in the traditional way from a saltwater source (after which the town itself is named), using the extraction by evaporation technique.
