Info

ALPINE Born of geographic necessity, Alpine cheeses are the result of difficult-to-cultivate land that was repurposed for grazing. Originating from the Alps bordering Switzerland, France, Austria and Italy, herders would start their cows grazing in the lower valleys and move up the mountainside as the snow melted to make the most of lush alpine grasses, wildflowers and herbs. The resulting milk was turned into large wheels of cheese along the way to be carted down and sold later. Alpine cheeses are notable for their distinctly sweet and nutty flavor, and smooth, dense texture. Also common to Alpine cheeses are “eyes,” or holes throughout the paste that result from CO 2 -producing bacteria. The resulting gas creates bubbles in the cheese curds that are captured as the cheese ages, resulting in “eyes.“ Many Alpine cheeses, like Gruyère and Emmentaler, are PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) cheeses, requiring they be produced only in specified regions under exacting standards. Milk: Cow Appearance: Natural brushed rind, often has holes or “eyes” Texture: Smooth, semi-firm to hard Flavor: Rich, complex, sweet, nutty, floral, herbal, grassy, buttery Aroma: Nutty, milky and sweet Pairing Suggestions: Gratins, sauces, soufflés, galettes, egg and poultry dishes Interesting Fact: Due to the harsh conditions in the Alps, the cowherds made extremely large batches of cheese so they could bring the wheels down from the mountain all at one time. Wheels of Gruyère and Comté measure up to 40 inches in diameter and weigh anywhere from 65-85 pounds. Wheels of Emmental measure up to 44 inches in diameter and can weigh up to 220 pounds! 18
