The producer
Gourmino - Langnau - Switzerland
Why we chose them
In 2001, in a rather inaccessible area in the village of Langnau in Switzerland, in the Emme Valley, five dairies founded Gourmino with the intention
of joining forces to market their products. The cheeses are produced in small rural dairies that still process local milk using traditional methods, often
self-producing the starters needed for the production: an approach that is very different from that of the large industries that dominate the Swiss
cheese market. The cheeses are taken to the maturing rooms in Langnau where they are refined. This short supply chain is essential to guarantee
the quality of the cheeses and preserve the centuries-old cheese-making tradition of this region of Switzerland.
