Delicate and seductive
Saint Christoph
Like the rising sun, Saint Christoph breathes a zest for life and lightness into the soul. A delicate seduction that warms every heart.
When the first rays of the sun appear in the morning, the farmers enjoy the warmth and fresh lightness of the new day. Young calves romp in the meadow while the sun shines golden and round over the rolling green fields and dairies of Eastern Switzerland. This natural freshness gives our milk a wonderfully creamy and velvety touch.
A delicate, surprisingly aromatic soft creamy cheese with a reddish-gold rind is created in traditional artisan production. A pure seduction with an aromatic, fresh taste with notes of nutmeg, Crème Fraîche or yoghurt.
