Franz-Toni

Long before the sun rises over the mountains, Franz-Toni is already at the copper kettle, stirring warm milk. No alarm needed. The cows know the hour, and so does he. He makes cheese the old way: slowly, stubbornly, with the quiet confidence of someone who has no time for modern nonsense. Up here, the busy world in the valley feels like a love from another life. But Franz-Toni doesn’t think about the past. He simply lives in the moment. Up here, that’s just how things are done.
