L'Etivaz is a traditional Swiss cheese produced exclusively in the high Alpine regions of the Vaud canton, following strictly defined methods that have been passed down for generations. The uniqueness of L'Etivaz AOP lies in its artisanal production process – the milk is heated exclusively over a wood fire in copper cauldrons, giving the cheese its distinctive rich aroma, subtle smoky notes, and full, nutty flavor.


After shaping, the cheeses are aged for at least five months, allowing them to develop complex aromas and a firm yet melt-in-the-mouth texture. L'Etivaz AOP is produced in limited quantities, with an annual production of around 400 tons, making it one of the most exclusive Swiss cheeses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TasteAtlas food rankings are based on the ratings of the TasteAtlas audience, with a series of mechanisms that recognize real users and that ignore bot, nationalist or local patriotic ratings, and give additional value to the ratings of users that the system recognizes as knowledgeable. For the “Top 100 Swiss Foods” list until March 20, 2025, 3,021 ratings were recorded, of which 2,601 were recognized by the system as legitimate. TasteAtlas Rankings should not be seen as the final global conclusion about food. Their purpose is to promote excellent local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and arouse curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.
