🎶 I Say Cookies and You Say Biscuits🎶

🎶 I Say Swiss Cheese and You Say Emmentaler🎶

🎶 I Say Nestleeeeee and You Say Nestlaaaaaa

We took the train from Interlaken West to Thun. Changed trains and went from Thun to Konolfingen. Switched in Konolfingen to one going to Langnau and after switching in Langnau we took the Kambly train to Trubschachen and the Kambly factory shop.

Spent the day in the Emmental region. The Emmental is a Swiss hilly landscape in the Bernese central land of the Canton of Bern. The landscape is characterized by meadows and pastures. Many hills are largely covered with coniferous forest.

Rich dark soil

This is the region that produces Emmentaler (Swiss) Cheese. The reason why Emmental was rechristened Swiss in the U.S. isn't nefarious; it was just the result of immigration. Wisconsin Cheese says Swiss immigrants started producing cheese in the style of their home country for American consumers in the late 19th century, and its surging popularity led to the rebrand.

Noticed new route sign with the type of train and number, the destination, and the track number

They need many bales of hay as they have cows, horses, and sheep.

The Kambly shop layout

The biscuits come in boxes, bags, and tins.

It all started with the Bretzeli.

"The Kambly Bretzeli has been baked with the same love and care for over 110 years, made according to the original recipe of Oscar Kambly's grandmother. Fresh butter and eggs from the Emmental and flour from the village mill give Switzerland's most popular branded biscuit its incomparable taste."

"Like grandma used to make - Kambly's story began over a hundred years ago with Grandma's Emmental «Bretzeli» biscuits. Settling in Trubschachen to be with his sweetheart, Oscar R. Kambly began to bake Bretzeli for the inhabitants of the valley, using his grandmother's family recipe. Ever since then, we have been producing them according to the original recipe day by day, carefully upholding the high quality and tradition associated with Kambly."

These macarons were hand done. They look pretty uniform when you practice and practice.

Our friend Fränzi is pictured on the left. She was our instructor when we took classes years ago. So happy Kambly still features her on some of their advertisements.

My mother gave me Zwiebacks when I was teething. I still love them!!!!

Yes, even Switzerland's famous mountain, the Matterhorn, gets to be a featured biscuit.

There are vegan lemon biscuits.

The lemon mignons are Michael's favorites.

Yes, we bought 3 bags and a suitcase full of biscuits. Well, I have an empty suitcase for the biscuits.
