Cheese allocation in the Bernese Oberland
Cheesemakers take a round of cheese out of storage to pile it in lots during the annual "Kaesteilet" in the Justi valley in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland September 23, 2005. In September the landowners and their families gather on the Spycher mountain where the cheese stores are located. The cheeses made during the summer on the alps are taken from storage and piled in lots. Following the address, each member is allocated his share by lottery. REUTERS/Ruben Sprich
