Jura Montagne
Cow’s Milk
Switzerland
Strong winds sweep across the rugged Jura plateau, shaping a landscape of high moors, rocky outcrops, dark forests, and meadows filled with aromatic herbs. In this remote setting at La Tourbière, Jura Montagne takes its character from the land itself.
Its defining quality comes from intensely flavorful mountain milk. Long, snowy winters allow hardy alpine herbs to thrive, giving the milk depth and aroma. Made from untreated fresh milk sourced from cows fed only hay and herbs from mountain pastures, Jura Montagne is still crafted by local cheesemakers using traditional methods handed down through generations.
The wheels are then given time to mature in traditional cellars, where they are regularly turned and washed with a special brine. After six to ten months of careful aging, Jura Montagne emerges as a distinctive cheese shaped by its natural surroundings.

Fior delle Alpi
Cow’s Milk
Switzerland
Pure mountain air, fertile soils rich with wild herbs, and fresh alpine milk come together in a small mountain dairy where tradition still matters. From this setting comes Fior delle Alpi, a Swiss mountain cheese wrapped in a distinctive black rind.
Its aroma recalls warm milk from childhood kitchens, while the flavor carries gentle crystals of salt that slowly dissolve on the tongue. Fior delle Alpi has a clear, unmistakable character shaped by its remote alpine home. Cows grazing on herb-filled pastures produce milk with a naturally spicy, rounded aroma, which defines the cheese’s depth and maturity. In the steamy, smoke-filled mountain dairy, each wheel is still made by hand, following a time-honored recipe.
After production, the cheese is cared for patiently in the cellars of Lustenberger & Durst, where it rests for at least twelve months. Only when it has fully developed its character does the master affineur approve it for release, ensuring every wheel reaches its true expression.
