Goat cheese is probably the oldest cheese of all and originates from the Mediterranean region. While there are hundreds of varieties throughout the world, most are soft, young, and spreadable and meant for quick consumption. In Switzerland, goat cheese is special and rare to our agriculture system. Even more special and rare is our award winning, aged, semi firm, smear ripened Gourmino Goat (Geiss) made by Gourmino master cheesemaker Michael Hanke and aged in his own cellar – an impressive and complex cheese at a modest 3-4 months age profile which earned a silver medal twice in 2020 and 2022 at the World Championship Cheese Contest.
Gruyere is still made in village dairies using knowledge that has been handed down through generations, and of course through training that cheesemakers now undergo. With a slightly sweet yet meaty flavor, Gruyere is smooth and creamy when young, and develops a more earthy and complex flavor as it ages.
It has a round shape with smooth, pink to deep orange, slightly sticky, natural rind. Raclette has a pleasant, nutty, sweet and fruity flavor. The flavor will intensify as this elastic cheese is melted. Raclette is produced in several cantons north of the Alps, and is guaranteed free of additives as it is made in accordance with its original recipe. It is not only a cheese but also a national Swiss dish (Yum!). A full fat, smooth melting cheese with a washed rind. The paste is ivory in color, the flavor is mellow and slightly acidic. The cheese becomes more aromatic with maturity

Emmenthal (also called Swiss Cheese) is known for its grand size and its handmade quality. The Emmenthal cheese-making process is an old tradition, using pure cow`s milk and a maturation period of at least four months. This process allows the rind to develop in an entirely natural manner, enclosing an ivory-colored, mild, slightly nutty-tasting cheese with cherry- sized holes. Emmenthal from Switzerland is a delicacy on every cheese platter, a popular dessert cheese, and is a perfect melting cheese for warm dishes.
