In the Pyrenees, get to know Elise Thebault & Olivier Maigre, farmers GAEC Bexka

The GAEC Bexka is located in the Madeleine district of Tardets-Sorholus, in the Basque province of Soule (Xiberoa). Elise and Olivier produce and transform sheep and beef meat as well as summer sheep tomme in the traditional way from the milk of the sheep they raise.

Ewe's milk cheeses of the brand Pé Descaous, the brand with the bear's paw and Esprit Parc National, which tell a family story close to nature, respect for animals and pride in a know-how:

The mountain brings the notion of terroir, of altitude, the characteristic licorice flavors. As the weeks go by and the weather changes, the pastures evolve and so does our cheese.

We bring our authenticity with a traditional know-how. The sheep are milked by hand and every day we make our sheep's cheese using an old-fashioned process in a copper cauldron.

We have created our farm from scratch. More than a job, it is a passion, a family commitment that we share with our daughter, Margot who learned to walk up there..
