The flavour of the region

Distinctly tangy with a unique taste: the regional goût du terroir.

The initial flavour is reminiscent of caramelised sugar and boiled cream.

Followed by a finely aged aroma with a tangy, herbal note.

Despite the long ripening time, the cheese has a balanced sweetness and a creamy finish.

Soft and slightly crumbly on the tongue.

«Emmentaler AOP Gotthelf Slow Food is special in every respect – from its single-dairy production to its unique flavour. This carefully hand-made natural cheese tastes best on its own with simple rye bread and sliced pear, and a glass of Pinot Noir makes the perfect pairing.»

Tabea Diener, Managing Director, Slow Food Schweiz
