Flavours of The Swiss Mountains Discover our complete range of authentic cheeses from Switzerland at www.mifroma.com Drawing upon the traditions and methods of highly regional Swiss cheesemakers, Mifroma introduces three new products that represent Swiss regional cheesemaking expertise. As fresh and vibrant as the Alpine valleys they hail from, Edel Suisse, Gottardo and Swiss Flower are defined by their depth of flavor, delightful appearance, or suitability for par- ticular wines or food. Edel Suisse is sweet, spicy and beautifully carved with folkloric motifs, sure to make a stunning statement on any cheese board. Gottardo is the pinna- cle of Swiss Italian cheese, made with savory milk from the Leventina mountain valley. The highly original Swiss Flower, scattered with Alpine flowers, is matched in appearance by a delightfully soft, floral texture. Mifroma is pleased to present these lesser known yet highly renowned regional cheeses to the delight of all your gourmet customers. trends & happenings NEW OPENINGS Three-time James Beard Award finalist Scott Crawford is opening a Southern restaurant and special- ty grocery store, Standard Foods, in Raleigh, N.C.
