At the Swiss Cheese Awards

September 30, 2018
Sarah and Sergio are just back from the Swiss Cheese Awards in Lucern – and were honoured to be invited to be part of the jury – judging the “Gruyere Alpage” class of cheese!
(Alpage means mountain pasture, and when used to describe a cheese, it means that the milk is taken from the cows only during the warmer months, when the herd is able to graze on the wild flowers and grasses of the alpine pastures)
