霧に包まれたダラットの高原地帯では、地元の食文化を静かに変革する予期せぬ料理のルネサンスが起きています。長らくイチゴやアーティチョークティーで有名だったこの街に、新世代の地元乳製品職人たちが、ヨーロッパの伝統に匹敵する卓越したチーズを生み出しています。
ワード12の涼しい谷間にひっそりと佇むHighland Cheese Collectiveは、ベトナムの職人チーズ運動の意外な中心地となりました。フランス人移住者のマリー・デュボワと彼女のK'Hoのパートナー、アー・リンによって設立されたこの小さな工房では、標高1,500メートルの草地で放牧された牛のミルクを使い、クリーミーなカマンベールから熟成されたハイランドゴーダまで幅広く生産しています。
「ここは標高と涼しい気候がチーズの熟成に完璧な条件を作り出しています」とデュボワは説明し、彼らの看板商品であるDa Lat Blueのチーズの輪を丁寧に回します。これは地元の松の蜂蜜を染み込ませた香り高いチーズです。「自然の洞窟システムが理想的な湿度を提供し、澄んだ山の空気が他では再現できない独特のテロワールをチーズに与えています。」
地元のレストランも注目しています。Cafe de la Posteでは有名なベトナムコーヒーと共にハイランドチーズの盛り合わせを提供し、Valley Bistroは伝統的なK'Hoの食材と職人チーズを融合させた料理を生み出しています。屋台のベトナム風バインミーに新鮮なハイランドモッツァレラをのせる試みもあり、冒険心あふれる地元客に驚くほど人気です。
この動きはチーズ作りにとどまりません。Da Lat Creamery Toursでは週末に、夜明けに牛の搾乳を体験し、伝統的な熟成技術を学び、東南アジアではここでしか味わえない種類のチーズを試食できる体験を提供しています。これはダラット料理の新たな可能性を切り開く高原の革新の本物の味わいです。

Highland Dairy Market on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street offers the widest selection of local artisan cheeses, with daily deliveries from area producers. For the absolute freshest options, visit cheese producers directly – Highland Cheese Collective and Vietnam Alpine Dairy both offer on-site sales. The Central Market's cheese corner provides good variety at competitive prices, especially early in the morning.
Da Lat's unique terroir creates distinctive flavors impossible to replicate elsewhere. The highland elevation, consistent cool temperatures, and natural cave aging conditions produce cheeses with subtle pine and floral notes. Local producers also incorporate Vietnamese ingredients like pine honey and traditional K'Ho herbs, creating fusion varieties unavailable anywhere else in the world.
Yes, several producers offer hands-on cheese-making workshops. Highland Cheese Collective runs weekend classes covering mozzarella, ricotta, and basic hard cheese techniques. Full-day creamery experiences include cow milking, traditional aging methods, and professional instruction. Classes are conducted in Vietnamese, English, and French, with all equipment and ingredients provided.
Fresh cheeses like mozzarella should be consumed within 2-3 days and kept refrigerated. Aged varieties travel better – wrap in wax paper and store in cool conditions. Most producers offer vacuum packaging for longer trips. If flying, pack cheese in checked luggage with ice packs, as carry-on restrictions may apply to certain varieties.
Da Lat's first Highland Cheese Festival is planned for October 2026, coinciding with the coffee harvest season. Monthly cheese and wine pairing events occur at various restaurants throughout the city. Many producers also host harvest celebrations and seasonal tastings – check social media or contact producers directly for current event schedules.
