Musenalp Alpkase 2025

One of our selections from the annual Adopt-an-Alp program!

Caroline Hostettler’s Adopt-an-Alp program allows retailers to support a specific cheesemaker and gives customers an unbelievable opportunity to try cheeses that rarely leave the Alp, let alone the continent. Caroline sources wheels from families who spend their summers in the Swiss alps making cheese. These farmers and cheesemakers choose to bring their animals and families up the Alp every year, an ancient practice that is deeply tied to the cheesemaking tradition in Switzerland, but is in danger of dying out due to our constantly modernizing world.

When Andrea met her husband, Sepp, she said she not only fell in love with him but also with life on the Alp. Musenalp Alpkäse tastes buttery, with subtle hints of hay, pine and a long, layered finish.
