How Low can you Go ??



CHEESE  CHEESE  OH  -  GLORIOUS CHEESE !!


(  unless u hate the stuff, except on Pizza, or are Lactose Intolerant, then I guess it really, truly is a Poison, err, and NO Joke....)

Not going to talk about the British Created above : " Wallace and Gromit ", and their, well, strong relationship with the stuff !
But, could not resist a reference to them, at this point.  ;-)

After all, this is, err " Penned " in SWITZERLAND.

So, what more can we DISCOVER about CHEESE, without, erhm ; Labouring le Sujet...

Welcome to : PRO MONTAGNA.
A Swiss Farming Organisation, which Supports Alpine Farmers, their Way of Life, and Well-Being.
Whose Slogan could go as :
"  For Our Mountains.  For Our Farmers.  "

Because, much as, sadly...everywhere else...almost....
In Switzerland, these Farmers Way of Life, and ORGANIC Farming  (known as BIO here ) is also threatenend by the Bad Side, of "THE BIG BAD BEAST"  known as :
Modern Life...??

PRO MONTAGNA - are for Preserving The Swiss Mountains, which Nourish and Look after their Inhabitants, via the Pure Richness of Nature that can be found there.

You only have to take a few looks at THE SWISS COUNTRYSIDE ( not so much in Winter, by the way !! )
To see and breathe the ABSOLUTE Fertility of it all.
It is literally " Popping With " LUSHNESS.  Almost as if it were (again, very sadly)....err : fake...?
But, it is most definitely NOT !

These Alpine Farmers make, yes - CHEESE, of course !
The PRO MONTAGNA BRAND of Cheeses - Are Cheeses which have EARNED their Name.
So it says :

These pictures are from the Adverts, for Pro-Montagna Cheeses, sold in the Swiss SUPERMARKET CHAIN, whose name is : COOP.
For every Cheese Sold, COOP will give back to This Mountain Farming Community, so that the Farmers, and Regions can continue to do, what they do, and quite sincerely have been doing so for many, many years...
All of this, also gives...Everyone... a Bit of Swiss Culture. 

AND... Each Pro Montagna Cheese will LITERALLY TELL U at which ALTITUDE it was made.

For example.
The one on the left was made at : 1.475 Metres Altitude !
The one on the right was made at : 930 Metres Altitude !
The Selection on the List goes on :

Now, maybe you are a : Cheese Conaisseur ?
If so, then perhaps, this may come, as nothing particularly new to you ?

But, to not only pick your Cheese -
on Taste, Suitability for what you will be Eating it with, Price, and NOW -  ALTITUDE ??? !!
Goodness, Math-Thoog-Ness ??!!!


Got so many Decisions to Make.....

Gonna have to Sleep on it...

Until Next Time.  Thanks For Reading.
Yours, CFC x
