Brumels

Brumels is a term that refers to a specific type of artisanal cheese originating from the alpine regions of Switzerland. These cheeses are traditionally made from raw cow's milk and are characterized by their firm texture and complex flavor profile, which often includes nutty and earthy notes. The aging process for Brumels typically lasts several months, during which the cheese develops its distinctive rind and intensifies in flavor.

The production of Brumels is often a small-scale, family-run operation, with methods passed down through generations. This artisanal approach emphasizes the quality of the milk and the specific environmental conditions of the alpine pastures, which are believed to contribute to the unique taste of the cheese. While there isn't a single, universally defined "Brumels" cheese, the term generally encompasses a family of similar alpine cheeses sharing common production techniques and flavor characteristics. They are often enjoyed on their own, as part of a cheese board, or incorporated into regional cuisine.
