The idyllic mountain landscape, with its rugged cliffs and florid Alpine meadows, is characterised by silence, broken only by the sound of a few cowbells. This summery beauty can change in an instant, however. Gusty air, raw winds, pouring rain and lightning – life in the mountains is at the whim of nature’s changing moods. The authentic Swiss tradition of mountain cheese is a world in which adventure and excitement mix with tranquillity, protection and support. Dealing with the elements is an art passed down through the generations – man and cattle alone, in harmony with nature. It is in this unique environment that our cheese makers transform strong, substantial cow’s milk with a silky-soft texture into incomparably creamy, extra tangy mountain cheese. Fresh, luscious grasses, powerful mountain herbs and sun-dried hay lend a unique aroma to the raw mountain milk and our Lustenberger 1862 creamy and extra tangy: smooth and melting tenderly on the tongue, extra tangy on the palate. A mountain cheese made from natural milk and full of character – Lustenberger 1862 creamy and extra tangy stands for long-established Swiss tradition and the love for our Swiss mountains. Craftsmanship passed down the generations without any artificial additions and careful affinage make every Lustenberger 1862 a particularly precious, natural and healthy cheese speciality.
