L’Etivaz AOP, Exceptional Cheesemaking Craftsmanship
A Cheese with the Flavours of the Alpine Pastures
A true symbol of the Pays-d’Enhaut region, L’Etivaz AOP is a traditional alpine cheese made using ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation. Every summer, local producers head up to the mountain pastures to transform raw milk into an exceptional cheese, while preserving time-honoured traditions.
Heated over a wood fire in large copper cauldrons, the milk is transformed into a cheese with rich, authentic flavours. Its unique character reflects the diversity of the alpine pastures and the expertise of the cheesemakers who keep this emblematic regional tradition alive.
