Alpine Cheese Secrets

The Taste of the Alps
High in the mountains of Switzerland – Austria – and France – Alpine cheese has been crafted for centuries with techniques passed down through generations. These cheeses are more than food – they represent the connection between nature – tradition – and culture.

What Makes Alpine Cheese Special
The secret begins with the cows that graze on rich mountain pastures filled with wild herbs and flowers. This natural diet gives Alpine cheeses their distinctive flavor – ranging from nutty and sweet to bold and earthy.

Famous Alpine Varieties

• Gruyère – Known for its creamy texture and nutty taste
• Raclette – Perfect for melting and sharing during winter gatherings
• Emmental – Recognized worldwide for its signature holes and mild flavor
• Tomme de Savoie – Rustic cheese with a gentle tang and earthy notes

Traditional Methods
Alpine cheesemakers often work in small family farms or cooperatives. Milk is heated in copper kettles – stirred by hand – and aged in cool mountain cellars. These methods ensure authenticity and preserve centuries-old craftsmanship.

Pairing and Enjoyment
Alpine cheese pairs beautifully with crusty bread – mountain honey – dried meats – and fine wines. Whether served melted over potatoes or enjoyed as part of a cheese board – it carries the true spirit of the Alps.
