🍽️ Local flavors and drinks

Bernese Alpine Cheese

Bernese Alpine Cheese is a hard raw-milk cheese made only in summer, on mountain pastures, primarily in the Bernese Oberland. The milk is curdled in a copper cauldron over a wood fire, and the cheese is aged for at least six months before sale. Selected wheels go on to become Bernese Shaving Cheese (Berner Hobelkäse AOP), which is then aged for at least a further year in a cool, dry room and sliced into thin shavings. Both cheeses carry the protected designation of origin AOP.
