Induction of new members of the Gruyère brotherhood

Samuel Guélat

On Saturday, October 25, 2014, at the church in Grandfontaine (Jura), dozens of people pledged their loyalty to the cause of the famous hard cheese. Among the crowd were the dzodzets. They were there in large numbers, proudly wearing their bredzons (traditional costumes) and other Alpine horns. With capes on their heads and loyi (bags for milking cows) on their shoulders, they attentively followed the induction of the new members.
