Emmental administrative district
Stop 160 of 265 · Switzerland
One cheese on the loop, with something to drink beside
it, something for the driver, and the road either side.
The cheese
- Drink
- Pinot noir, lightLight enough not to bury a mild wheel, with enough acidity to cut it.
- Driving
- Barley teaNutty and toasted, echoing the cheese.
- Eat with
- Dark rye, ham and mustardMild enough to sit in a sandwich; the mustard supplies what the cheese does not.
A classic pairing — settled enough that it belongs to the region.
