5.00Gina was very knowledgeable and entertaining and we learned a lot about the cheeses of the Switzerland. The tasting was fun and I just had to pick up a block of the young Grumental, exclusive to the region and only produced by 2 farms in the country! Delicious! Highly recommended if you are a cheese fan like me.
