Rye bread AOC |
|
The characteristics of AOC Valaisan rye bread, apart from its ancestral recipe, include the use of special leaven which lengthens the period that the bread remains fresh, giving it a unique acidity. Cracked to perfection because of its long fermentation, it can be savoured with butter and honey as well as with a plate of Valais dried meats.

Cheese |
|
Cheese, made in the dairies in Valais villages, are entrusted to specialists to refine them. These true professionals are heirs in the history of cheesemaking, they continue to produce cheese whose quality cannot be matched. Each cheese belongs to a welldefined area, because its name (Anniviers, Bagnes or Simplon – to name but a few!) is carved on the rind.

Dried meats IGP |
|
“IGP Valais dried meat” is a dried, never smoked, product. Coated with a mixture of selected spices (unique to each producer!), the pieces of meat (legs of beef) are left to braise and dry for five to sixteen weeks. They are then pressed several times and they take on their characteristic shape. Accompanied by a glass of Cornalin or Pinot Noir, the meat releases its flavour.
