Among the region’s emblematic specialities is alpine cheese, made during the summer season from the milk of cows grazing in the mountain pastures. These cheeses, rich in flavour and character, directly reflect the quality of the alpine meadows. The region is also known for its dairy products, such as butter and other traditional specialities.

The Val d’Hérens also offers a wide variety of local agricultural products. Depending on the village and the season, visitors can discover fruit, vegetables, honey, aromatic herbs and various homemade specialities. Products from local livestock farming, particularly meat from the famous Hérens cattle, are also an important part of the valley’s culinary identity.
