MOUNTAIN TOP - January 2025 curdbox

WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP CURDBOX 

High in the mountains, where lush pastures meet the crisp, clean air of the Alps, a tradition of cheese-making as old as the peaks themselves continues to flourish. And it’s in this idyllic setting that Alpine-inspired cheeses take shape—with their flavors deeply tied to the land. These cheeses are celebrated for their texture, as well as a delicate saltiness that highlights their natural richness, and a super melt-ability that makes them a culinary favorite worldwide. But what truly sets them apart is the way the mountain environ- ment—with its wildflower-filled meadows, pure water, and cool, slow-aging conditions—infuses every wheel with the essence of the landscape. So this month, we dive into some of these remarkable cheeses, to uncover how the Alpine regions and their cheesemaking methods come together to create flavors that are as timeless as the mountains themselves. 

So let’s take a look and see what we brought you in this month’s box...
