Hoch Ybrig is a classic Swiss mountain cheese made from raw cow’s milk, patterned after Switzerland’s famous Gruyere. Hoch Ybrig is produced by one dairy using raw cow’s milk from several small, local herds of Simmental cow’s. In the spirit of the traditional Swiss mountain cheese, Hoch Ybrig is a cooked, pressed curd cheese, which allows for the expelling of whey creating a dense tight texture, representative of the mountain cheeses.
Throughout the maturation process the wheels are washed with a brine solution containing a white wine, yielding a residual sweetness in the finished cheese. During maturation, the interior of the cheese darkens and becomes more complex, with a light “tang” and subtle caramel note. The beauty of this cheese rests in its ability to compliment Gruyere, and yet develop its own personality through the fine balancing of salt, acidity and distinctive butterscotch notes.
Ingredients: raw cow's milk, salt, animal rennet, enzymes.

All cheeses we slice to order and wrap in cheese paper as we want you to enjoy original flavor of cheese - not damaged by vacuum or plastic.
All meats which require slicing we slice to order and lay it out on wax paper (deli-style) so it is easy to separate slices. Then we pack it in a plastic pouch with nitrogen purge (again, to make it easy to separate pieces we don't vacuum the meats but use commercial style food grade inert gas mix).
