From Fribourg we headed to Gruyeres to check out the cheese factory there. Since we had already been there once I thought my kids would be bored and want to play on the playground outside. Silly me. They wanted to take the tour one more time and watch how the cheese is made.

On the tour there are a line of different things (grass, flowers, herbs, etc) that cows eat that can affect the flavor of their milk and therefore the taste of the cheese. The silver canisters hold the different scents that you can sample. Beware of the stinky cow poop canister Dad!
