Vacherin Fribourgeois d’Alpage AOP

Seasonal product. Available from September to April. Our Master Cheesemaker, Vincent Christophe, has selected an exceptional mountain pasture for you: the Alpage Les Portes d’en Haut, situated at an altitude of around 1,220 metres in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland, on the hills above Vuadens. This alpine chalet has been run by the Moret family since 1952 – spanning three generations today. Olivier and Sonja Moret live out their passion for farming and the mountains to the full with their six children: Emilie, Julie, Nicolas, Nathalie, Mélanie and Adèle. The milk from their herd of around sixty cows is processed on site using traditional mountain methods. It is heated over a wood fire in a traditional copper cauldron. The wheels are matured for around three months on spruce boards. This cheese has a smoky flavour and floral aromas, with a smooth, creamy texture.
