Bleu de Combremont is made from cow’s milk that meets the requirements for Gruyère quality but is treated differently. Due to the blue mold cultures, the cheeses need to be taken directly from the salt brine to a cellar nearby, where they are ripened and maintained in compliance with strict climatic and microflora parameters. There the wonderful taste unfolds, and its one-of-a-kind appearance develops. Its special shape has already granted it the nickname “cinder block blue”.
Bleu de Combremont is creamy-buttery and balanced, tastes slightly peppery with hints of mushrooms and a sweet umami aromatic finish. Thanks to its creamy consistency, our bleu is spreadable and therefore tastes particularly good with a fruit bread or crackers. We recommend dried fruit or honey with a sweet white wine pairing.
Traditionally, fondue was a way of making a hearty meal out of old ends of cheese. Nowadays, thanks to our maîtres fromagers’ work on aging techniques and taste development, fondue is – above all – a delicious taste experience. Easy to prepare and great for sharing, Mifroma fondue is ideal for fun dinner parties with loved ones.
We offer long shelf life ready-to-use fondues as well as fresh shredded cheese mixes that can be used for fondue or sprinkling on top of other recipes to add a delicious cheesy crunch. Both options boast carefully selected gourmet cheeses in addition to top-quality packaging.

A cheese inspired by nature and the legendary traditions of Central Switzerland. “Fluehblüemli / Swiss Rockflower” (Primula auricula) are yellow alpine flowers that grow and find their way under humble conditions among craggy limestone rocks. Mainly found along the Swiss Pre-Alp region – also on the slopes of Mountain Dairy Kleinstein’s “home mountain” Pilatus massif – they have delighted many hikers’ hearts. They are signs of the times and recall the legend of the “Wildmannen” who once lived here in caves. Some of them tended to chamois which are the alpine cousin of many goat species. Back then, the chamois fed on these alpine flowers and from their milk they made cheese. When the weather allowed it, the ‘Wildmannen’ went down to the valley to help the farmers with their work. In return, they were rewarded with food and cow’s milk. Thus, they were also able to process this cow’s milk they into cheese. In imitation of the edgy and untamable wild people, Silvio, his father Albert and their team reproduce this cheese. Their mountain dairy Kleinstein is located in the Entlebuch, at the edge of the UNESCO Biosphere, far above the village of Werthenstein.

L’Etivaz AOP is a hard cheese made using unpasteurised milk. It is produced by hand in over one hundred alpine creameries in the Vaud Alps between May and October using unpasteurised milk, an open fire and the traditional recipe. The unpasteurised milk is processed on site and is full of the aromas of fine alpine herbs.
The raw, robust milk that goes into Appenzeller comes from cows that graze in the lush meadows of the region. Cheesemakers wash each wheel with a secret herbal brine infused with wine, cider and a mixture of herbs, blossoms and other natural ingredients. All of which adds a complex flavor that connoisseurs desire. Appenzeller is noted for its nutty flavor combined with an herbal spiciness, suggesting ginger, black tea and clover.
