Mifroma’s maîtres fromagers have created a unique combination of Gruyère AOP, Emmentaler AOP and Mountain Cheese to treat you to unforgettable moments of delicious pleasure.
German for “Old Oak”, Ur Eiche stands out as a woman made cheese in a field dominated for generations by men. Christa Egli’s 14 lb wheels are washed with oak extract, then aged under oak planks for 10 months. The resulting cheese has the dense, eye filled texture familiar to Alpine cheese lovers, with flavors of pineapple, macadamia and, unsurprisingly, oak barrel.
***Seasonally Limited***
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.
Aromatic and fresh goat’s milk character with notes of lavender, white pepper, sage and sweetened condensed milk.
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.
Michael Spycher other world famous cheese, these relatively smaller wheels are dense but slightly pliable with a creamy mouthfeel and flavors reminiscent of a baked potato – crème fraiche, nutty starch and earthy rind.
Named after the yellow Alpine flowers growing in the Entlebuch, where Silvio Schopfer sources fresh raw milk from cows grazing on high Alpine meadow flowers, Rockflower is the newest addition to Gourmino’s smaller Alpine specialty cheeses. This cheese is semi firm but more pliable than most Alpine cheeses aged as long, and the flavor is strongly umami, balanced by notes of pine nut and white flowers
