L'Etivaz

L’Etivaz AOP is joining the Fontaines Gourmandes 2026!

A true emblem of the Vaud terroir, L’Etivaz AOP is a hard alpine cheese handcrafted between May and October from raw milk. What makes it special? The milk is heated directly over a wood fire in large copper cauldrons, following traditional expertise passed down through generations.

Produced in the Vaud Alps, L’Etivaz AOP reflects the richness of our mountains and their flora. Behind this cheese is the Cooperative of L’Etivaz AOP Alpine Cheese Producers, which brings together and promotes the work of local producers.

At the Fontaines Gourmandes 2026, you will have the opportunity to discover this exceptional product and all the expertise behind its production. A stop that promises to be both authentic and delicious! 

We are also delighted to count L’Etivaz AOP among the official partners of this 6th edition of the Fontaines Gourmandes.
