Milk: Unpasteurised Cow (Summer Alpine)

Region: Fribourg

Rennet: Animal

​Age: Now selling 2019 summer production (16 months)

Grass fed milk: Yes, currently summer Alpine milk

Classification: Natural Alpine Cheese


Made only in the summer, this Alpine Gruyere has a fruity and complex floral character, due to the cows grazing purely on Summer Alpine pasture. The milk is also heated over a wood fire, lending an occasional smoky note. A very specialist cheese, only two wheels are made each day. Extra mature, with an intensified flavour, and a slightly dusty rind.

We select cheese mostly only from one cheesemaker that we have been buying from since 2006 (unless there is a shortage).

Our new initiative........
NATURAL ALPINE CHEESE
Discover a unique range of cheeses created high in the Alps. Here at this altitude, farmers graze small herds of animals on lush summer pastures and craft cheese using traditional methods. Characterised by intricate flavours resulting from the diverse plants of the meadows the animals graze on, each cheese in this special selection is a true expression of its mountainside origins.
