For this third and final episode of the first season of Cheese Chat, we’ll be talking to cheese affineur Roland Sahli. What does he do? He takes care of Le Gruyère AOP over several months and selects the best wheels for maturation to produce varieties with more character.
For the second episode of our Cheese Chat podcast, we have the honour of hosting cheesemaker René Pernet. The cheesemaker is responsible for producing Le Gruyère AOP. More precisely, they oversee the process that transforms the milk into Le Gruyère AOP wheels before maturation.
To kick off our first season dedicated to AOP, listen to dairy farmer Caroline Etter’ story.
For anyone who doesn’t know, the dairy farmers are the guardians of Le Gruyère AOP’s primary ingredient. As well as feeding and milking their cows twice a day, they also coordinate the milk deliveries to the cheese dairy, both morning and evening. Their profession is a balancing act between automated processes and traditional know-how, which is just as relevant as ever in 2021.
