History

In cooperation with the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, we source the high-quality hay milk from the Biosphere area, solely for the production of these fine mountain pasture milk couvertures. The UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch is located in the canton of Lucerne. This region, with an area of 394 km2, is rich in conserved landscapes and at the same time remains unique with over 100 moors as well as the large karst landscape. Hay-milk farming is the most original form of milk production. These dairy cows enjoy fresh air, clear water and a variety of almost a thousand different lush grasses and herbs all summer long. The cows get hay in the wintertime as well. Fermented feedstuffs such as silage do not feature at all. This richness of species is clearly discernible in the quality and aroma of the milk and ultimately in the couverture.

Grand Cru mountain meadow milk Couverture. white

Grand Cru Couverture with mountain meadow milk from the Entlebuch Biosphere and cacao butter from the Dominican Republic.

Fresh milk and the finest cream have pointed the way from the very beginning. The pure milk flavours are accompanied by fine meadow blossom honey thanks to the creamy smoothness of the white hay milk chocolate. Unobtrusive, mild notes of marzipan herald the finish, which lingers in the mouth with a characteristic flavour of mild vanilla.

Fragrance notes
Milk, cream, floral honey, almond paste, vanilla.
