Ciné-journal suisse - La fête des fromages du Justiztal
Swiss Ciné-Journal – The Justiztal Cheese Festival
Year: 1923

At the very end of summer, a traditional ceremony is held in the Justistal: the farmers divide up the cheese from the milking of their cows during the high-mountain pasture season. Each leaves with his share. The images of this national custom were recorded in 1923 in one of the first editions of the Swiss Ciné-journal.
