Vacherin Fribourgeois (Fribourg) is characterised by a distinctive, subtle but full-bodied flavour and a delicate texture that makes it one of the world’s finest cheeses.

Fribourg’s master-cheesemakers combine tradition with the love of a job well done. Every day in their cauldrons in villages in Bulle (Canton Vaud) and Fribourg (Canton Fribourg in west-central Switzerland) they process milk from local farms using traditional recipes. Those traditions have been handed down from generation to generation. Vacherin Fribourgeois’ nutty flavour and soft taste can be attributed to the historical processes, which ensures high-quality taste.

How Vacherin Fribourgeois is Made

Grass-fed cows that graze in the Swiss mountains throughout late spring and summer provide the vitamin-rich milk that makes up Vacherin Fribourgeois. Made from unpasteurized raw milk, the ripening period for Vacherin Fribourgeois takes anywhere from at least nine weeks to several months.

Cheesemakers treat the cows’ milk each day. They use traditional methods and guarded recipes to produce this soft-smelling cheese. #EatSwitzCheese
