Häppi Swiss National Day!

Our daily demi-baguette sandwiches have turned SWISS as well 😁
Get one of each - Tête de Moine&Quince and Bündnerfleisch&Cornichon - you won`t regret it!

See you on Sunday 👋

"Tête de Moine" [monks head, because it's shaved from the top 🤪] as a proper term has been used since about 1790 but the cheese itself has a much longer history! It is now a staple of Swiss culinary culture and is still shaved into a shape that's unmistakable!
Not ready to commit to a full 2lb wheel and a "Girolle" by Swissmar (which we both carry!)? Come taste it in a sandwich as decadent as this cheese: Baguette - Tête de Moine - quince. Do we need more to celebrate Swiss traditions?

Craving the most authentic St. Galler Olma Bratwurscht around?
See you on Sunday then!

Love Raclette?
See you on Sunday then!

Ragusas were first made in 1942, a time when raw materials such as cocoa were in short supply. Instead of just adding nuts to the cocoa mass, Camille Bloch made a filling out of ground hazelnuts, added whole hazelnuts for extra crunchiness, and filled it into a thin shell of chocolate. He then cut the chocolate into practical 50g bars and the Ragusa Branchli was born!
Today, all forms and shapes of Ragusa chocolates are synonymous with Swiss culinary culture and traditions 🌰

Layers of decadent hazelnut meringue, vanilla sponge cake heavily soaked in Kirsch and light pink -more- Kirsch buttercream which are then rolled in almond slivers adorned with a cherry blossom and dusted with powdered sugar: French Pastry sized Zuger Kirschtorten are being put in our cases as you are reading this. Come on by and get the one pastry you legally cannot share with your little ones 🤷‍♀️

The "Weggen" are IN!

A traditional bake no Swiss can resist this time of year 🤷‍♀️ Buttery Zopf dough is formed into rolls and cut to represent our flag. It is available all over Switzerland - and Springfield Virginia 😁 - for Swiss National Day next weekend. Come on by, get one to munch on right now and place a pre-order for a couple dozen more while you`re in!

How to make a traditional Swiss treat even SWISSIER?

Easy, you put a cow on it 🤷‍♀️
