Mountain Cheeses

Caseus Montanus, an International Association of Mountain Cheese Producers, recognizes mountain cheeses as those produced and affiné above 800 m, or approximately 2500 feet.

Various scientific studies on the flavor profile of mountain cheeses found as many as 100,000 micro-organisms in the flora of high altitude mountains as compared to less than 10,000 in the lower prairies. This high intensity of micro-organisms explains the wonderful, deep and complex flavors of mountain cheeses.
