AT the: door of the: spe^ichj^r 



A speicher is a small hut built upon four stone legs (to secure the contents from mice), 

 in which the cheese made during the summer visit to the Alps is stored. The cheese-makers, 

 known as sennen or fruitiers, and their families follow the cattle from Alp to Alp all through 

 the summer, turning the milk into the well-known Gruyere cheese, better known all through 

 America as "Swiss cheese."
