Piora

Piora is a Swiss cheese originating from the Piora Valley, hence the name. It's made from raw cow's milk coming from a combination of two milkings done in consecutive days. The cows feed on rich fodder on the pastures, resulting in rich aromas of the cheese.

It's pressed in molds for half a day, and then the cheese is left to age for 4 to 5 months. This mountain cheese has a smooth and hard texture underneath its natural rind, while the flavors are slightly sweet, herbaceous, milky, and well-rounded.
