Our cheeses
In the 2021 alpine season, Gruyère d'alpage AOP, Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP Alpage and of course our delicious Riggisalp Mutschlis will be produced. The cheese is available on site. The show dairy is open daily between 08:00-17:00.
The history of the Riggisalp
The Riggisalp is located in the beautiful Schwarzsee Valley in the Fribourg Prealps. The alp brings a lot of tradition and history with it.
Historical documents prove that animals were summered on the Riggisalp several centuries ago already.
A spectacle for young and old
In the alpine cheese factory Riggisalp you can watch on site how the cheese is made in a very traditional Swiss way over an open fire. The cheese production takes place daily in the morning.
On its first day the cheese factory Riggisalp processed around 1'200 l of milk
The Opening was a success. The cheese maker Bernard Schneuwly was able to produce 3 Gruyère AOP d'alpage and 7 Riggisalp Mutschlis. The cheese will be stored and matured for the next 6 weeks (Riggisalp Mutschli), respectively 6 months (Gruyère). Depending on the maturity of the cheese it will stay a little bit longer.
