Le Cavalier


The Spielhofer family that makes Le Cavalier buys its cow's milk from a farmer who uses only Freibergers horses (the last original Swiss horse breed from this region) to work his fields. His cows seem to appreciate the gently cultivated pastures, as the milk he delivers for production of Le Cavalier is of outstanding quality.

Le Cavalier (the Rider, in English) is a mild, semi-soft cheese, matured for three to four months. Its flavours are aromatic, fruity and pure.

Le Jura


Because of its quality, this cheese is perfect enjoyed young, but can also be aged for up to 8 months. We named this matured speciality “Le Jura”. Le Jura exhibits a profoundly beefy, savoury smell, with hints of peanut butter and buttered toast. The rind is dry and thin, with an even, narrow band of dark paste just underneath it.

Notice the tiny pinhead-size openings in this cheese's butter-coloured interior. Le Jura has a more open, less compact texture than Gruyère, and the texture is moister and a bit sandier, not quite as silky or creamy.

Pair Le Jura with a rich but non-oaky white wine, such as an Alsatian Pinot Gris.
