Ingredients of L'Etivaz AOP
Ingredients:
Fat 45+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, acid, sodium
A masterpiece from the Swiss Alps
The L'Etivaz AOP is not just any cheese, it is a piece of culinary heritage. This exclusive cheese is exclusively made during the summer months high in the Swiss Alps (Canton of Vaud). What makes L'Etivaz truly special is the traditional production method. The raw cow's milk is still heated in large copper kettles directly over an open wood fire. This not only gives the cheese a fantastic texture, but also its unique, subtle smoky and fruity taste with light notes of hazelnut.
It is therefore not surprising that this masterful cheese is praised internationally. During the prestigious World Cheese Awards 2025-2026, the L'Etivaz AOP was awarded gold! A wonderful recognition for the hard work and ancient craftsmanship of the alpine farmers. The cheese is perfect for a luxurious cheese board, tastes delicious with a good glass of wine and is also a fantastic ingredient for an exclusive cheese fondue.
Freshly cut from the knife for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we only cut your order fresh from the large cheese wheel at the moment you order. Almost immediately afterwards, the piece of L'Etivaz is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly protect the delicate raw milk aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This way you are guaranteed to get the gold-awarded top quality fresh at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about L'Etivaz AOP
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
Yes, the L'Etivaz AOP is an authentic raw milk mountain cheese. Because the milk is unpasteurized, the cheese is not recommended for pregnant women as a precaution.
