We're bringing back the Adopt-an-Alp program this year! Through our partnership with Caroline Hostettler, we are offering retailers and distributors the opportunity to “adopt” an Alp and receive cheese from families who spend their summers who spend their summers in the Swiss alps. These farmers and cheesemakers choose to bring their animals and families up the Alp every year, an ancient practice that is deeply tied to tradition in Switzerland but is in danger of dying out due to our constantly modernizing world. This is a unique opportunity to try cheeses that rarely leave the Alp and to let your customers know that you value traditional cheesemaking and transhumance. Please reach out for more information on this year’s program and the specific Alps available. #adoptanalp #artisancheese

It was a pleasure to travel to Italy with this group of team members from Whole Foods Market to discover the magic behind the production process of Parmigiano Reggiano. Trips like this are an important part of the ongoing education and community building that we prioritize here at Forever Cheese. There is so much benefit and meaning in witnessing production firsthand and meeting the artisans behind a product, whether it's your first or fiftieth time.
One of my favorite parts of my job is connecting with Whole Foods Market Team Members about foods they’re passionate about. For many of them, including our more than 300 Certified Cheese Professionals, cheese is one of their favorite products. Italy is one of the food capitals of the world, so it makes sense that it’s home to the King of Cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano. On my recent trip there with 14 Culture Champions and Ambassador of Food Culture Cathy Strange, we devoted an entire day to the production of Parmigiano-Reggiano, following the process from before dawn at the farm where we watched the milking all the way through cracking the finished wheels with the help of our supplier, Forever Cheese. It was fascinating to see modern production that still honors cheesemaking traditions that began back in the Middle Ages. From the dairy farm, we followed the milk to the manufacturing facility where the cheese is made in large copper vats that hold up to 150 gallons of milk. Once the curds form, they are lifted into molds. Once released from the molds, the wheels are salted and moved to an aging facility where they are aged at least 12 months and up to 40 or more. After aging, each wheel is tested for quality and those that pass are hot iron branded, officially becoming Parmigiano Reggiano. The best part, of course, was cracking three 80-pound aged wheels and finally getting a taste. I want to appreciate Forever Cheese and each of the facilities for hosting the perfect day for us to bring our love and passion for food and amplify our food culture. #TeamWFM #IntheFieldWFM
