Cheeses From Switzerland

Raclette du Valais
The creamy and flavoursome Raclette du Valais AOP cheese is produced solely in the canton of Valais using unpasteurised milk. The flavor is fresh, like fresh butter or cream, with a slightly acid tang. The rind is sticky and pungent with aroma of cured meat.
Emmentaler Cheese
The King of Cheeses from Switzerland. The famous cheese owes its name to the valley of the River Emme in the Bern canton. A fresh flavour reminiscent of dried grass. With sweet, milky caramel notes.
Appenzeller Cheese
Appenzeller cheese can only be produced in the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and Ausserrhoden and in parts of the St. Gallen and Thurgau cantons in line with the traditional recipe. Its unique, tangy flavour is owed to the careful and luscious aging at least three months involving the herbal brine. The recipe for this herbal brine is a strictly guarded secret.
Le Gruyère AOP Cheese
The taste of Switzerland since Year 1115. Produced in the region around the small town of Gruyères, in the Fribourg canton for several centuries. The spicy mature taste with fine salt crystals, the fruity note, the fine aroma of roasted chestnuts or walnuts.

Great place to lunch for new years with a big group. Real authentic Swiss food and amazing service by Mark and his staff. Building a little unassuming but interior is spectacular. The kids and adults were all very pleased across all parts of the menu from entrees to deserts. Will be back.
