Alpine cheese - a traditional Swiss natural product. This is because alp cheese is not the same as mountain cheese: while the former is only made in summer from fresh alpine milk in alpine huts, the latter is produced in talc cheese dairies all year round. The milk for mountain cheese does not necessarily have anything to do with the mountain, but alp cheese does with the alp. With 58 intact alps, the pretty Prättigau is one of the largest alpine regions in Graubünden. On the 24 alpine dairies, milk from about 2,000 cows is processed into over 120,000 kg of alpine cheese during the summer months. Far above the valley floor, the animals are protected by their alpine herdsmen and enjoy the fresh mountain air. The higher up on the alp, the more intense the sunlight, the stronger the fresh herbs and grasses, but also the sparser the fodder. All this keeps the foraging animals on their toes and helps them to produce high-quality milk, which in turn leads to the finest alpine cheese.
