Berner Alpkäse comes from the place where cows graze on sunny, lush Alps at night and the alpine herdsman or woman turns the freshly acquired, nourishing alpine milk into cheese using traditional methods first thing in the morning. Our Berner Alpkäse is shaped by the natural alpine pastures where no artificial fertilisers are used, by the special alpine herbs and the pure, healthy mountain air. According to tests, the Berner Alpkäse (alpine cheese) has a relatively high proportion of linolenic acid, one of the omega 3 fatty acids.
