Appenzeller Extra
by Gourmino. Product of Switzerland.
Appenzeller is made from raw, robust milk and then aged for over 6 months. The wheels are washed with a secret brine recipe of herbs, wine, cider, blossoms. The cheese is firm and dense, yet supple. At first, the taste is buttery with slightly fruity undertones. As it matures, the flavor becomes fuller and more complex with notes of toasted nuts, herbal spice, clover, and black tea.
Appenzeller Extra Black Label is more robust and a bit funkier than regular Appenzeller.
Appenzeller is one of the oldest cheeses, dating back to the Medieval times of Charlemagne. The quality and character are protected by rules similar to those operated by the AOC system in France. The cheese is at its best when made in mountain chalets from cows grazing in the lush summer meadows of the Appenzell and St Gallen region of Switzerland.
Ingredients: raw cow's milk, rennet, cheese cultures. CONTAINS: MILK
