A treasure from the heights of Val de Bagnes
- Handcrafted at the Alpage de La Chaux, 2200 meters above sea level in the Val de Bagnes, this raclette cheese from the La Chaux Alp is a true jewel of the Valais.
- Fifteen of our best cows come up here every summer to enjoy the rich alpine pastures, from July to September, for around two months in summer.
- Raclette cheese, under the Bagnes appellation, is processed on the mountain pasture by the Luisier family, one of the region's most respected producers.
- After the pieces have been divided up in September, the wheels of cheese are taken down to the Domaine de Crévy, where they are sold at excellent prices.

- The Céline and Guillaume Savoy family passionately perpetuates a family tradition, respecting the artisanal methods handed down from generation to generation for making cheese on the mountain pastures.
- The floral diversity of the pastures has a direct influence on the rich aromas of this cheese, which benefits from a triple selection label.
