Kaltbach Le Chèvre - Matured in a sandstone cave

“Cheese is the poetry of milk, an ode to happiness made of textures and flavours.”

A cave, a cheese, a Swiss story

Somewhere in Switzerland lies a sandstone cave carved into the living rock. It is called Kaltbach — the “cold stream” in Swiss German. The air there is cool and damp, the temperature constant all year round. This is where Kaltbach Le Chèvre comes to life.

A cave-matured goat's milk cheese, in conditions no warehouse can reproduce: the rock regulates, the humidity envelops, the rind forms slowly. The result is a cheese of unexpected mildness: fruity, creamy, lightly goaty without ever being aggressive, with notes of cellar and damp stone in the background. An approachable, generous Swiss goat's cheese, made for sharing.

What the cave gives it

The sandstone cave is not a backdrop: it is a living tool. A stable temperature summer and winter, high humidity that nourishes the rind; just rock, air and time. Where a dry goat's cheese plays on acidity and concentration, Kaltbach plays on roundness and mildness: the cave smooths the edges and turns goat's milk into a melting, creamy cheese with no rough edges.
