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.

Gourmino Gruyere is produced by numerous cheesemakers in the Fribourg region of Switzerland banding together in the name of tradition to produce one of the most beloved cheeses of all time. Made from the unpasteurized milk of cows feeding on fresh alpine grasses, aged for 12 months. 2x World Cheese Champion.
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.
