Adopt-an-Alp — alp maran

It's here! Our Raclette Alp Cheese from Maran arrived...

Posted by Sonja Hoffmann on Nov 19, 2018

...and is already gone! But don't despair, there will be more.

The cheese is delightful; a fresh clean taste. Wonderful on a cheese plate like a good alp cheese should be. Mild and creamy when melted. The longer the cheese ages, the more flavorful it will get.

Waiting for our Raclette cheese from Alp Maran

Posted by Sonja Hoffmann on Oct 12, 2018

The cows are back down in the valley's and the farmers cleaned up their summer places and left. Alp Maran received 4 gold medals for their alp cheeses and they had the first snow. That means that we will get our raclette cheese from Alp Maran soon!

What's happening on Alp Maran?

Posted by Sonja Hoffmann on Aug 15, 2018

Finally, there is some cooler weather in Arosa. While at some alps, the transhumance was cut short due to excessive heat and drought, Alp Maran was lucky that the situation wasn't as bad. They still get about 3300 l (870 gallon) of milk every day and produce around 60 wheels of Alpkäse Maran.

On a recent visit to "our" alp we had the chance to take a look what the steps are to make cheese, specifically Raclette cheese. We are trying to explain the process of cheese making in this blog post.

Visiting Alp Maran

Posted by Sonja Hoffmann on Jul 26, 2018

Here at RacletteCorner we like to have a personal connection with our customers and our vendors. Our youngest team member had the opportunity to visit Alp Maran, from our Adopt-an-Alp program. He and his grandparents received a tour, sampled the cheeses (including raclette cheese from last season) and enjoyed the incredible views of the Arosa mountains.
