WHAT IS ADOPTAN-ALP?

Adopt an Alp in Switzerland to make a personal connection to a cheesemaking family, your own exclusive cheese, and a direct connection to a picturesque alpine landscape.

About Adopt-an-Alp®

Transhumance – the move of people and animals in accordance with the seasons – is a centuries old tradition. It serves several purposes both nature and society wise, and its ultimate perk are the fabulous Alpage cheeses it lets us enjoy year after year. But spending summers far away from civilization and making cheese is less rosy a lifestyle then most of us imagine. It is marked by lack more than by luxury, and it comes as no surprise that the amount of people still willing of taking the burden is decreasing slowly but steadily. Adopt-an-Alp unites Alp farmers in Switzerland, where Transhumance originated over 8,000 years ago, and American cheese mongers by shedding a realistic light on every day life on the Alp. Through telling the story of each family, sharing photos and updates, both cheese mongers and their customers are able to follow their adopted family and herd, and to understand this very particular lifestyle.

And only by understanding Transhumance can we fully appreciate and respect all the work these people do, and with it the Alpage cheeses we so love. Which, on the other side, motivates and inspires the farmers and thus helps to keep the tradition alive. Actively supporting farmers and getting rewarded with spectacular Alpage cheeses? This is a win-win situation indeed.

How to Adopt an Alp

It is easy, unlike previous years, we no longer have a 10 wheel minimum. You can even purchase a single wheel! Feel free to pick cheeses from multiple alps. Once you have decided which cheeses you would like, simply fill the order form and send it back to michael@wbcheese.com and mail@qualitycheese.net. Cheeses produced this summer will be available for the November and December shipments, while the older vintages are available for all three delivery months.

The Health Benefits of Alpage

Besides being a delicious product crafted in surroundings with clean air, purest water, lush flora and no fertilizing, Alpage cheeses offer an array of health benefits. Over the course of the two last decades, many studies have proved them to the extent that in Switzerland Alpkäse by now is regarded as “Functional Food” – food that benefits one’s health.
