About the dish

Cuchaule is a Swiss brioche-type bread with an amber color and a unique flavor. This specialty of the Fribourg region is made with flour, milk, sugar, butter, yeast, salt, eggs, and a pinch of saffron. It is typically baked for the Bénichon harvest festival, when it is traditionally spread with Bénichon mustard and butter. The mustard is made with candied sugar, vin cuit, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. However, cuchaule can be consumed with anything sweet or savory – from jams and honey to cheese and peanut butter.
