Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut - Le Chalet is one of Château-d'Œx’s most popular tourist attractions. Its famed organic cheese, Le Chalet Bio, is made by heating milk from mountain farms in large vats over a wood fire. In the heart of the restaurant, the cheesemaker, dressed in traditional garb, turns between 160 and 200 litres of organic milk into a 16-20 kilo wheel of hard cheese. The wheels are then left for around five to six months in a ripening cellar. The end product also features on the restaurant menu, either as part of a cheese board or as a special ingredient in a number of dishes.
The artisan cheese-making demonstration takes place from Wednesday to Sunday, 10.30 am to 12.30 pm. Group visits can also be booked in advance (minimum group size: 15).
Visitors can buy Le Chalet Bio and lots of other great local produce and souvenirs in the shop on the ground floor.
