Okelan Experience: sustainable meat course in Zarautz

Okelan, in Zarautz, offers a training experience that follows the full cycle of sustainable meat production, from pasture to grill. The in-person day begins with a guided visit to the Erromin farmhouse, where native cattle breeds can be seen in their natural setting, followed by a technical session at the Marmarra facilities focused on the art of meat cutting and ageing. The gastronomic component includes live culinary demonstrations and a tasting of fifteen paired dishes that bring the technical knowledge to the table. The programme is completed by a twenty-hour online module for participants to explore the content at their own pace. With six hours in person and twenty in digital format, the course is aimed at industry professionals and anyone with a serious interest in quality gastronomy. It stands as a substantial stop within a broader exploration of Gipuzkoa's food culture.
