This summer's heat has hit Swiss Gruyère cheese production
Producers in the canton of Neuchâtel report a drop in the casein content of their cows' milk, which translates directly into lower cheese yields.
Grass shortages and heat stress on dairy cattle are behind the shortfall, according to ArcInfo.
The findings add to growing evidence that climate change is now reaching some of Switzerland's most traditional products.
Both the quantity and the quality of this year's Gruyère have suffered.
