With just 64 cows grazing on over 86 acres of Alpine meadows, deliver the milk for Werni von Rotz’s Sennerei, where he produces his cheeses during the summer months. Werni is absolutely dedicated to cheese making – for more than 40 years! His expertise can be found in every single bite of his cheeses.
Obwald is so small, it is only half a canton. But if you could iron the mountains, it would probably triple in size. The Bergmatt meadows start at about 3100ft and go up to nearly 7000ft on the high valley of the Melchsee-Frutt, in winter a popular ski resort.
Voted Best Hard Cheese at the Global Cheese Awards 2017, and winning a Gold Award at the World Cheese Awards 2017, this stunningly aged cheese is fruity and nutty, with complex flavours and crystalline textures. Grated, shaved or broken off in chunks, the Bergmatt is an excellent ingredient as well as the highlight of every cheese platter.
