Switzerland is for me a land of cheese and chocolate. These items regularly make up the largest portion of what I bring back home. Besides that, it is also worth bringing back local non-traditional pastries filled with dried pears, or even Swiss smoked meats. So, what did I bring back from my last Swiss trip?
Swiss cheeses. Local cheeses were at the top of my list. Even if I had to bring just one thing from Switzerland, it would be cheese. You can opt for tasting mixes of different types of cheeses, this one includes cheeses Tête de Moine, Emmental, Bergmutschli, Gruyère, Appenzeller, and Campozola. A 250 g package of cheeses cost 11.50 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Soft aging cheese Buure Weichkäsli. It’s also ideal as a snack for the plane. One 35 g package costs 1.15 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Appenzeller cheese from the COOP store network, a 200 g package costs 4.90 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Emmental cheese from the COOP store network, a 220 g package costs 4 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Gruyère cheese from the COOP store network, a 314 g package costs 5.95 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Birnweggen. Pastries filled with a mixture of dried prunes and other fruits. One package of three pieces of birnweggen cost 3.20 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
Local smoked meats. In this package are Milano salami, dried ham, and dried bacon, all from the Swiss region of Ticinese. A 150 g package cost 4.99 CHF (which is approx. the same amount in EUR) .
There must also be several packages of Swiss chocolate and chocolate pralines.
