Embark on a nine-step sensory journey through landscapes, techniques and the senses. Here, time is no longer broken into fragments; it unfolds in all its richness. Open your eyes wide, listen, smell, breathe in – from the pastures to the sweat of labour, from the coolness of the valleys to the warm scent of milk fresh from the udder, from the aromas of rennet to the smells of maturing…
Pay close attention; everything is there for those who know how to appreciate it, and here you will find the very best: the taste of authenticity.
What sort of cheese taster are you?
Cheese is all about taste, but there’s more to it than that!
Tasting cheese engages all our senses… we look at it, smell it, touch it, eat it and, even more surprisingly, we listen to it.
At the tasting table, your senses will be awakened to appreciate all the subtleties of Abondance cheese!

Abondance cheese will hold no more secrets for you!
