Over the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll take you to five popular tourist regions\u2014the Alps, the Anglo-Celtic Isles, Australasia, Canada, and the Mediterranean\u2014complete with recommendations for places to visit, fun facts, and of course, some of the best wedges and wheels in the area.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span class=\"wpsdc-drop-cap\">P<\/span>icture treading through fields of knee-high wildflowers up a seemingly endless mountain path. It\u2019s so steep that you pause at every photo op to capture the vista of endless snow-capped peaks (and your breath). There\u2019s no better way to work up an appetite, but luckily you\u2019ll never go hungry in the Alps. While cheeses elsewhere might serve as an appetizer or garnish, hearty mountain dishes place curds front and center, layering and mixing the golden goodness with starchy bases like bread, sp\u00e4tzle, polenta, and potatoes.That complete cheese devotion makes sense in a region where snowy winters and steep slopes have long discouraged plant cultivation. Instead, animal herding has driven both economy and tradition, resulting in unparalleled dairy expertise. Little huts teetering on the side of a cliff might look rustic, but inside shepherds are crafting wheels that sweep international awards. Nobody can deny that the Alps supplies a striking number of the world\u2019s best cheeses. A visit here yields all the bountiful dairy delights you\u2019d expect\u2014and more.<\/p>\n<h3>LE GRUY\u00c8RE AOP ANTIQUE LANGR\u00dcTI 1862 LE SUPERBE<\/h3>\n<p>Lustenberger &amp; D\u00fcrstLangr\u00fcti, Switzerland<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 45%; margin-right: 20px; margin top: 15px;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_32116\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32116\" class=\"wp-image-32116 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new.jpg\" alt=\"the alps\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new.jpg 650w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/cheese_final_LeGruyere_new-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Le Gruy\u00e8re <\/em>AOP<em> Antique Langr\u00fcti 1862 Le Superbe<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ve been publishing our Best Cheeses special issue for only four years\u2014but had we been doing so for 902 years, one version or another of <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Gruyre-Switzerland\">Gruy\u00e8re AOP<\/a> would probably have made the cut each time.

As a result, the company developed a line of sheep\u2019s milk yogurt, fromage frais, and a mold-ripened cheese called Fleur de Brebis. This soft cheese is a twist on the traditional tomme Vaudoise, a disk that ages about a week. Thanks to the use of ewe\u2019s milk, Crausaz says, this version quickly becomes \u201ccreamy and oozing, with an animal taste that\u2019s a little bit marked.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>L\u2019ETIVAZ AOP<\/h3>\n<p>Coop\u00e9rative des Producteurs de Fromages d\u2019Alpages L\u2019EtivazL\u2019Etivaz, Switzerland<br \/>\nPerhaps the most old-school of Alpines, this golden raw cow\u2019s milk wheel was the first in Switzerland to be awarded AOC (now AOP) status.

There, cows graze on pasture containing over 90 species of plants, says Thomas Gasteiner, a representative of Agrarmarkt, the country\u2019s national ag marketing organization. The resulting wheels have a rich, pungent rind that Gasteiner insists on eating. It takes at least 12 months for the rind to develop, he says, \u201cand there is so much flavor there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Gorgonzola-Dolce\">GORGONZOLA PDO DOLCE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Arrigoni Battista Pagazzano, Italy<\/p>\n<p>Due south of Lombardy\u2019s azure Alpine lakes, the town of Gorgonzola was once a seasonal resting point for shepherds herding cows between high-altitude pastures to lowlands.
