Discover how Gruyère d'Alpage PDO cheese is made at La Poyettaz with the Poncet family.
The Poncet family and the Poyettaz mountain pasture: the story of a long tradition. For several generations, farmers from Ballaigues have been taking their cattle to the Poyettaz mountain pasture in the heights of northern Vaud during the summer months.
The Simmental cows are used to make Gruyère d'Alpage PDO cheese every morning. Find out how this cheese is made with the Poncet family and what life is like on the mountain pasture during an authentic, immersive morning.
