A very special event on Sunday, September 15, 2024, was the Anniversary 25th Bernese Alpine Cheese Championship on the Männlichen.
In stunning sunshine, after some snowfall, we were able to taste the 3 categories of cheeses that were judged the da before. 1. Berner Hobelkäse AOP, (produced in 2022 or older), 2. Coeur des Alpes (Berner Alpkäse AOP, produced in 2023) and the Alpmutschli (produced in 2024) . Overall there were 114 cheese, I didn’t try them all of course, however as a former cheesemaker myself, my favourite being the Hobelkäse. This year, the Region of Lenk was the winner in the Hobelkäse division. Alongside each cheese exhibit were the tasting notes and scores from the expert jury. The expert jury, although not immediately unanimous on every alpine cheese, nevertheless agreed in the overall assessment that the cheese quality could be significantly improved, as observed in previous years. If the participating alpine pastures at the Bernese Alpine Cheese Championship provide a whole wheel for assessment, any errors cannot be discovered beforehand and therefore avoided, which makes the competition for this natural product all the more difficult and exciting! One could experience how each cheese wheel has its own unique aroma. Each Bernese Alpine Cheese AOP contains pure alpine milk rich in herbs and is produced and cared for exclusively by hand. A natural product with a strong character. Comments are closed.
