Swiss semi-hard regional Alpkäse (Bündner, St. Galler, Urner, Nidwaldner, Schwägalp)Chaschiel d'alp dal Grischun
Small, full-fat, semi-hard wheels made on summer alps from raw cow milk, set with calf rennet and lactic cultures the herders grow themselves. The curd is cooked to 42–47 °C, pressed, brined and ripened at no more than 18 °C with a rind brushed with salt water. It is sold mild after 2–3 months. Made in 8 steps over 2.3 months – 6.6 months. The longest step, ripen in the alp and valley cellars, takes 2–6 months (Kulinarisches Erbe der Schweiz) and runs at up to 18 °C (Kulinarisches Erbe der Schweiz). Lactic acid bacteria cultures, propagated by the alp herders does most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
These small semi-hard alp wheels are cooked to 42–47 °C, lower than Berner Alpkäse and Sbrinz, and ripened only a few months. Schwägalpkäse is made from thermised milk in one shared alp dairy, not in single alp huts.
Size
4–8 kg (Bündner 4–6, St. Galler 4–7, Urner 6–8 kg about 30 cm, Nidwaldner 6–8 kg, Schwägalp about 5 kg, 28 cm)
Fat
At least 45 % fat in dry matter (Bündner, St. Galler, Urner, Nidwaldner); St. Galler often near the upper limit of 54 %
Producers
About 115–130 alps in Grisons; 36 in St. Gallen; about 60 herders in Uri; about a dozen alps in Nidwalden; over 50 alps send milk to the Schwägalp show dairy
Cheesemaking in Grisons stayed small until the late 19th century, although Engadine hard cheese was exported from about 1530. Courses for alp cheesemakers, advisory services and cooperative alps later raised quality.
