Know-how

From milking to cheese pressing, there are several stages in the process of bringing out the best in milk milked at altitude.

Life on the mountain pastures

Every summer, our producers leave the valley to spend several months in isolated chalets deep in the mountains. Up there, life follows a different rhythm, according to the seasons and the daily chores. But over and above the work, the mountain pastures are also a human adventure, with moments of sharing and tasty anecdotes.

Nature

Between vast pastures, forests and unspoilt hills, the birthplace of L'Etivaz PDO offers an exceptional setting where people, animals and a rich and varied flora live side by side. This unique landscape, which has been tended for centuries by mountain farmers, is much more than just a backdrop: it reflects their know-how and deep respect for the environment.

Discover our product range

  • Made exclusively from L'Etivaz PDO cheese at different stages of maturing to balance the flavour, this fondue is smooth and refined. Food lovers beware: Fondue can be kept for 6 months in the freezer, with no change in flavour, so don't hesitate! It's always good to have one on hand!
  • Etivaz AOP Doux is matured for a minimum of 135 days and a maximum of 6 months.
  • Etivaz AOP Intense is matured for around 10 to 20 months.
  • Because Etivaz à Rebibes PDO is extra-hard, it's not easy to cut... The best remedy is to take a plane and slide the cheese over it! The result is delicate, pretty rolls that will look great on your cheese platters or as an aperitif.
