CHEESEMAKER
Fritz Baumgartner, Bergkäserei Trub
Our delicious Gourmino Jùscht is produced in the idyllic village of Trub in the heart of the Emmental at the foot of the Napf. Cheese has been made here since 1829.
"Together with my team, I process the milk from the surrounding farms into traditional Emmentaler AOP. We also have an Bio (organic) production line and use the organic milk from the surrounding farms for Bio Emmentaler AOP. Furthermore we produce specialty cheeses to be able to use alle the mountain milk independent of the volume control for Emmentaler. This includes the award-winning Gourmino Jùscht, which is handmade here according to the original recipe.”

STORY
the good one
«Eifach en Jùschte» (simply a good one), that is what the award-winning specialty cheese has always been called.
The term is only used in the Seisler dialect and thus in the German-speaking canton of Fribourg and means “the righteous one”. For this reason a good person in this district is designated “Jùscht” or the term is used for a thing that is correct and good. What name could be better for our cheese specialty?
In spite of the young age, Jùscht is very rich, but fresh and milky in flavour. This is why the cheese reminds us of muesli milk. A real “indulgence cheese”, which you won’t have enough of after the first bite.

AFFINAGE
nothing is as perfect as nature
After being handcrafted in the mountain dairy Trub, the cheeses are kept in the dairy and cared for for one month before they are moved to Gourmino’s mountain cave. Here the affineurs treat Jùscht wheels two times a week with salt water. The natural climate in the mountain (about 12 °C and 93% humidity) is perfect for the affinage of Jùscht. Denn schliesslich ist nichts so perfekt wie die Natur.
