Quesos de radiquero

Quesos de Radiquero
Ctra. Radiquero s/n, Adahuesca (Huesca)

This is a goat cheese producer.
We phoned in advance in order to check if it would be opened. They confirmed.
When we arrived, we were not permited to visit anything and we were brought directly to the shop. In the shop, I asked for the possibility to taste the cheese in advance and I received the most stupid answer that I have ever been received in a place like this. It was plenty of cheese in a fridge, but they told us that at this moment they do not have any cheese opened.
I guess that this answer will last for ever and ever. Dear nasty girl, when is supposed that you will open a cheese?, otherwise you will say for ever and ever that at this moment none is opened.
last but not least, they have a stupid sign with the cheese price:
0,5 Kg -> 15,5 eur
2 Kg -> 15,5 eur
I asked for a clarification and they insisted that the prices were correct, although her explanation didn't match the sign.
Dear nasty girl, if one of this years you rise the price (I guess you will do that in a near future), I suggest you the following alternative text:
0,5 Kg -> 15,5 eur/Kg
2 Kg -> 15,5 eur/Kg

ecostean

Ecostean
Pl. Portal 11, Costean, Huesca

This is a nice place to taste olive oil. In fact, this has been my first olive oil tasting. it has been really interesting. My favourite olive was picual. In addition they also offer other products such as soap and cosmetics, all of them made with olive oil. Worth to visit if you are in "Somontano", and they don't charge anything for the visit.

Olvena Hache

Olvena hache

I was satisfied with this wine. Although its taste is quite burnt, it is just slightly (and thus, acceptable). The density is high and it is pleasant to drink. However, its price is around 15 eur per bottle, while his cost should be no more than 7-8 eur per bottle.

Olvena Merlot Rosado 2009

Olvena Merlot Rosado 2009

This is an expensive and flat rosé wine (around 7 eur per bottle). I think you can buy much better rosé wines for 3 eur. If you really want to enjoy with a rosé wine, go for Santa Digna (Torres, Chile).

Gewurztraminer Olvena 2009

Gewurztraminer Olvena 2009

They advertise us that each somontano cellar produces a different Gewurztraminer, nothing to do with the other cellars. That's true. I think that this one is not a "classic" Gewurztraminer. However, I prefer Penedès Sumarroca. Worth to mention that this wine has a very original label. The exposition bottle is from 2007. However we tasted the last one (2009).
