L'Etivaz is considered a 'fromage d’alpage', an artisanal cheese made in mountain pastures in Switzerland, especially between May 10 and October 10. This cheese is produced in the chalets where the cows graze, following rigorous quality standards. It is made exclusively from raw cow's milk, cultures, animal rennet, and salt, without additional additives. Its texture is firm and it has a minimum aging of 18 months, giving it an exquisite, slightly fruity and spicy taste with subtle hazelnut notes. This variation in flavor depends on the forage consumed by the cows on each mountain. This cheese is gluten-free and is recommended to be consumed at room temperature for full flavor enjoyment.
