GOURMET TRAVEL: Visit Switzerland For The Cheese

April 23, 2009 at 4:25 pm · Filed under Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Food Holidays & More, Travel

Swiss Cow
Get a mooove on and visit me in Switzerland.		 It’s a question we’ve all pondered upon biting into a perfectly sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano or spreading a fresh chèvre: How is the very existence of this magically varied product—cheese!—even possible? Famed NYC landmark Murray’s Cheese Shop wants to help you find the answers. This June, the shop’s director of education will lead an educational cheese expedition through Switzerland’s central region. Cross the Alps with with a small group of fellow turophiles to meet the cheese-makers—the families—behind a few of Murray’s favorite Swiss cheeses. Learn how the landscape shapes the region’s cheese-making tradition—and, ultimately, how culture contributes to the creation of the cheeses we love.

For more information on the tour, call 1.212.243.3289 ext. 12.
