Swiss Cheese Foodways

Specialised

The cheeses of Switzerland and the dairying that produces them: village dairies on the plateau, chalet cheesemaking on summer pasture, hard mountain cheeses that had to survive a winter, soft and washed-rind cheeses in the west, goat cheese in the south, and protected designations that tie a name to a place.

Atlas — where and when

What is recorded

Many Swiss cheeses are made from raw milk. That is legal, traditional and regulated, and it carries a real listeria risk for pregnant people, the immunocompromised, the very young and the very old. Local guidance governs; this records that the risk exists rather than resolving it. documented
