Difference between alpine and mountain cheese

All cheese? No, there is actually a difference between alpine and mountain cheese! Alpine cheese is made on the alp from the raw milk of cows that spend the summer on the alp and graze fresh alpine herbs. Mountain cheese, on the other hand, can be produced all year round by cheese dairies in mountain regions. The milk can also come from cows that graze in the valley and are fed with hay during the winter.
