Töira

The farm Töira is located in the wonderful and sunny valley of Blenio, more precisely in Olivone on the main road leading to the Lukmanier Pass. Töira has always worked in harmony with nature and the surrounding environment and since 2007 operates in accordance with Bio Suisse Standards.Töira produces a wide variety of cheeses: from the classic semi-hard "formagella", to the hard "Sosto". Moreover, during summertime their cows graze in the breathtaking  grasslands on the Lukmanier Pass where their milk is transformed in the flavourful semi-hard cheese "Pian Segno". Besides the classic cheeses produced in the southern Alps of Switzerland, Töira produces also innovative and interesting options such as the juniper or nettle "formagella".Töira’s products are sold exclusively at their farm shop and are now also available online on LARIX. For real cheese lovers we recommend visiting their shop shop in Olivone early in the morning to observe the cheesemaker processing fresh milk. Töira also organises guided tours to explain and demonstrate all the stages of the cheese making process.
