Switzerland
Switzerland (ˈswɪtsərlənd),
officially the Swiss Confederation) is a federal republic in Europe.
While still named the "Swiss Confederation" for historical reasons,
modern Switzerland is a federal directorial republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of
the federal authorities, called '"federal city" (German: Bundesstadt, French: Ville féderale, Italian: Capitale federale). The country is situated in Western-Central
Europe, and is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein
to the east. Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between
the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km2
(15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the
territory, the Swiss population of approximately eight million people is
concentrated mostly on the plateau, where the largest cities are to be found:
among them are the two global and economic centres Zürich and Geneva.
I also like Switzerland
cause of it’s cuisine. The cuisine of Switzerland is multifaceted. While
some dishes such as fondue, raclette or rösti are omnipresent through the country,
each region developed its own gastronomy according to the differences of
climate and languages. Traditional Swiss cuisine uses ingredients similar to
those in other European countries, as well as unique dairy products and cheeses
such as Gruyère or Emmental, produced in the valleys of Gruyères and Emmental. The
number of fine-dining establishments is high, particularly in western
Switzerland.
Chocolate has been made in Switzerland since the 18th century but it gained
its reputation at the end of the 19th century with the invention of modern
techniques such as conching and tempering which enabled its production on a
high quality level. Also a breakthrough was the invention of solid milk
chocolate in 1875 by Daniel Peter. The Swiss are the world's largest consumers
of chocolate.
Due to the popularisation of processed foods at the end of the 19th century,
Swiss health food pioneer Maximilian Bircher-Benner created the first
nutrition-based therapy in form of the well-known rolled oats cereal dish,
called Birchermüesli.
The most popular alcoholic drink in Switzerland is wine. Switzerland is
notable for the variety of grapes grown because of the large variations in terroirs,
with their specific mixes of soil, air, altitude and light. Swiss wine is
produced mainly in Valais, Vaud (Lavaux), Geneva and Ticino, with a small
majority of white wines. Vineyards have been cultivated in Switzerland since
the Roman era, even though certain traces can be found of a more ancient
origin. The most widespread varieties are the Chasselas (called Fendant in
Valais) and Pino noir. The Merlot is the main variety produced in Ticino.
