Hardy and beautiful, they're very popular plants for both garden beds and containers. This low spreading plant enjoys a range of soils and makes an excellent groundcover. The Erodium alpine geranium is a little different from the common geranium, but...

Most high arctic-alpines bloom within weeks of the melting snow. This colour is also more attractive to bees, perhaps the most important pollinators in the world. Ever wonder why rock garden plants are typically short, evergreen, mat or mound-forming?

Serve on rye with ham and a swath of grainy mustard. The Finnish equivalent of the Swiss Emmental, this sharp, holey cheese tastes of toasted hazelnuts. Straw-hued Finlandia is aged for over three months, resulting in its characteristic fruitiness and...

Adults enjoy it with a crisp, fragrant white wine and thinly sliced prosciutto or dried beef. People of any age like it straight up as a snack. Made from an ancient Swiss recipe for Emmental, but meant to be eaten younger, when it is still full of moisture.

Try it on rye with ham and a swath of grainy mustard. Aged for over three months and made with part-skim milk, this is healthful option that doesn't sacrifice flavor. The Finnish equivalent of the Swiss Emmental, this sharp, holey cheese tastes of toasted...

This grass-fed, raw milk produces flavors in the cheese that can't be replicated by "ordinary" milk. Named after the land formation on which our farm sits, Pleasant Ridge Reserve is made in the tradition of Alpine cheeses like Gruyere and Beaufort.

Use like any "Swiss," melted in fondue or grilled cheese sandwiches, sliced with country ham and mustard, or served with a glass of flowery country white wine. A modern Dutch creation that is quickly (and deservingly) becoming a world favorite.

You can certainly enjoy this semi-soft cheese alone, but we like to pair it with a glass of buttery Chardonnay, light Pinot Gris, or a hearty wheat beer. It possesses a great depth of flavor, featuring intense waves of walnut, pecan, and hazelnut along...

The farmstead produces only 20 wheels per day; after careful aging, a beautifully burnished wheel is produced, featuring hints of nutty sweetness, roasted meat, dried stone fruit on a foundation of butter and cream.

If you don't have a fireplace, Raclette makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches, with a slice of tomato and country ham. Smooth, nutty, and a little pungent. In the winter cold of the Savoie, half-wheels of Raclette are propped by the hearth for melting,...

(from Cellars at Jasper Hill) For a satisfying and novel meal, follow the lead of Swiss/French raclette — melt onto a plate of fingerling potatoes, cured meat and natural sour pickles.

Serve with crisp, floral whites or earthy red Rhones. Similar in every way to its Swiss cousin, but eaten younger — when it is sweet and nutty and still pliably soft. French Gruyere, made in chalets high in the Alps of Franche-Comte.

Pair with a cold glass of wheat beer, cider, or Gruener Veltliner. Notes of sweet vanilla and buttered baked potato blend with subtle spices that come from the herbs in the pasture to give this mountain cheese a truly unique taste.

Its subtle nutty sweetness is sure to please every palate and we think it pairs beautifully with a glass of Pinot Blanc. If Gruyere and Manchego had a love child, Vermont-made St. Ann's Reserve would be their baby.

Emmental is the mildest of the great cheeses used in classic Swiss fondue (with Gruyere and Appenzeller or Raclette). Known affectionately throughout the world as "Swiss." This is the real thing, cut from massive 200-pound wheels the size of truck tires.

It's square shape accomodates the traditional raclette melting pans, but you can certainly enjoy this semi-soft cheese alone or paired with a glass of Riesling or Pinot Gris. This particular raclette is aged and washed for three months creating a bold,...

It slices beautifully into sandwiches of all kinds. Dice into salads or quiche. Straight up, basic, everyday Swiss. Mild and nutty. It melts perfectly into fondue or grilled cheese, over burgers, or on top of French onion soup.

Perfect for snacks, shredded into omelets, or as the cheese component of a ham-and-cheese sandwich. Inspired by the giant Emmental ("Swiss cheese") of Switzerland, but smoother, milder, creamier, and sweeter.
