Good visit which makes you love Bayonne ham more - A visit that provides a better understanding of the process of manufacturing and preserving a local ham. The explanations are clear and even if it's not super spectacular, the sight of these hanging hams and the smell are worth the trip. Small tasting at the end which launches the store's sales. It's good, a business that works. :)

interesting visit, excellent tasting of their products! - After the visit, we bought Axoa, a Basque specialty that we didn't know: (minced veal, tomato peppers, etc.). We were advised to accompany it with P de T vapors. Excellent choice !

From pork to ham - Very interesting visit by a passionate person who defends the values of enjoying a good ham. You will read the Bayonne ham label differently. Visit 5€. Why not offer visitors a discount on their purchase after the tasting?
