Indeed, the city of Bayonne was known for the particular richness of its cuisine since the 12th century. The gastronomic specialities of the area are famous far beyond the borders of the Bayonese country, whether it is fish cuisine such as ttoro soup, or meat cuisine such as veal axoa, not to mention dessert, the famous Basque cake.
But Bayonne is best known for its Bayonne ham. Originally, the ham came from the surrounding countryside and was shipped throughout Europe through the port of Bayonne, from which it took its name. It owes much of its reputation to the quality of the salt that preserves it, the natural salt of the Adour region, which gives it its exceptional taste. Today, Bayonne ham is becoming a highly sought-after and appreciated delicacy.
