| feral trade swiss alps cheese |
| Cheese from Grindelwald's Holzmatten ancient commons, a sunny alpine idyll facing the north face of the Eiger. The village cows pass the summer at 2200m eating particular mountain herbs, the horned cow variety research shows deliver the best milk. Formed daily into cheese at 1600m alpine hut by commoners channeling swiss engineering and 500 years of cheese making tradition, the cheese is over-summered at altitude then cellared on further down the mountain 1 year at 12 degrees C in the basement beneath self-built Grindelwald home of commoner/carpenter Peter Eggers, who runs his 5 cows on Holzmatten alp for the brief but vivid summer season.

From: Marianne Tiefenbach Hello Nienke,
Nice to hear you!
If you travel vom Le Locle to Bern you will pass Biel and Lyss. At what time do you travel to Bern? We could meet us at Lyss. You take from Biel the highway direction Bern and take in Lyss exit Lyss north. There
is a petrol and service station BP (green). We could meet us there. |

Was very nice to meet Marianne, and hear about her research. It was rather photogenic, the meeting at a gas station somewhere at a highway junction,
sunny weather car boots open, nicely packaged in cardboard boxes. And we got a piece as a present: it’s a great cheese! very best, Nienke
kate rich Tried to send swiss francs cash from bristol to bern. Jiva Lovejoy who was driving bristol-falmouth picked up francs and passed them to belle who flew with them to geneva however a landbased courier geneva-bern was nt found so cash payment made instead via Nicolas Galeazzi who left 200 CHF with his cousin in bern for Marianne to pick up there. Nicolas requested repayment in coffee. Francs flew back to bristol airport with belle benfield who passed them to trader along with the cheese, at arrivals area concourse.
