Etivaz PDO is a Swiss cheese of excellence, celebrated for its artisanal authenticity and indissoluble link to the Alpine region. Etivaz PDO is distinguished by a natural, uniformly brownish rind covered with morgia, a special microbial flora that protects the cheese during aging . The interior paste is hard and compact, varying in color from light yellow to golden, with a full and homogeneous texture. The nose has aromas of fresh milk, notes of hazelnut, floral touches and a slight hint of smoke, due to processing over pine wood fires . In the mouth, it offers a rich and complex flavor: the taste is full, round and persistent, with herbaceous nuances reminiscent of alpine flora, accompanied by a delicate lactic note and a slightly spicy sensation in the more mature versions

Etivaz PDO

swiss alpine cheese Etivaz PDO prices and deals online.

Etivaz is produced in the Vaud Alps, in western Switzerland, between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level. In this region, characterized by pristine pastures and mountain air, hundreds of small mountain pasture chalets ensure the continuity of the cheese-making tradition. Production areas include municipalities in and around Pays-d'Enhaut, such as Château-d'Oex, Rougemont and Corbeyrier. All products are aged in the cooperative in the village of L'Etivaz, where the final maturing takes place.

The milk used for L'Etivaz AOP comes only from cows fed exclusively on fresh alpine grass during the summer (May 10 to October 10). It is raw milk of the highest quality, collected daily from more than 3,000 cows grazing on about 130 alpine pastures. All-natural feeding without fermented feed guarantees aromatic, nutrient-rich milk that is particularly suitable for cheesemaking.

How it's made Etivaz AOP is made by following an artisanal method passed down through generations. Fresh raw milk, never transported, is processed directly in the chalets. It is heated in copper cauldrons over a wood fire, a process that gives the cheese its characteristic slightly smoky aroma . Next, the paste is pressed and the wheels, consisting of between 10 and 38 kg, are immersed in brine and left to rest for a week in the chalets. Maturation continues in the cellars of the village of L'Etivaz, at a temperature of 10 to 16°C, where the wheels rest for at least 5 months . During this period, the cheeses are regularly turned and brushed with salt. Some exceptional examples are aged for up to 3 years, developing a more crumbly texture and intense, spicy flavors .

Combinations

Etivaz AOP is a versatile cheese that can be enjoyed on its own on a cutting board, accompanied by fresh or dried fruit, mountain honey or fruit preserves. In cooking it is perfect for fondues, gratins or potato dishes, thanks to its excellent melting capacity . For wine pairings, we recommend pairing it with a fresh, savory white wine such as a Swiss Chasselas, which enhances its elegance, or with a soft red wine such as a light Pinot Noir.
