To expand our range of spirits, the Egiazki house has decided to work on a Gin with flavors from the Basque Country using sloe. A recipe that combines the sweetness of sloe with the invigorating character of juniper berries. This fruity alliance gives a very harmonious Gin : delicate, slightly bitter, both tonic and fresh. At the tasting, the nose is floral and refined, and the mouth marked by the sloe. The Gin Arana will seduce you with its refined bitterness and its aromas of citrus fruits, absinthe and ginger.

The preparation and sorting of natural casings is a trade - a craft - where experience and precision are of the utmost importance. Natural casing, after all, does not come from a machine, it is a naturally grown product with a variable caliber (diameter), length and properties. The skill and workmanship involves cleaning and sorting the natural casings to make a product that the professional sausage maker can work with. Moreover, thanks to our three generations of experience and our use of the latest technology, we can provide a reliable product that is always the right size and the right length. It is impossible to predict how the casing will come out of the animal. However, you can always be certain how the casing will come out of our packaging: because the caliber, quality and length are clearly listed on the outside.

For the past twenty years, the Omba Trust has worked closely with the Ju/Hoansi community in Namibia to foster a sustainable development model to integrate the rare skills of the Ju/Hoansi into the mainstream economy. The Ju/Hoansi is a San tribal community in rural Namibia, confined in large part to but a small section of their previous hunter-food-gathering landscape. With the guidance and support of Omba Arts Trust, community members fashion beautifully intricate jewellery from ostrich egg shells and create very rare pieces of art, often used as inspiration for a unique range of fabric prints also available from the Trust. In addition, Omba has for the longest time engaged skilled and talented basket weavers from various parts of Namibia to produce a range of decorative and highly sought-after baskets; a standard feature in most Namibian homes representing an abstraction of symbols relating to wealth and fertility, in particular.
