Alpencheddar

by Hofkäserei Kraus. Product of Ebersbach, Germany. 

AlpenCheddar cheese is a unique fusion of Alpine-style (Alp - Blossom) and Quicke's  Mature Cheddar cheeses, combining the nutty, sweet flavors of Alpine cheese with the sharpness and creaminess of Cheddar.  AlpenCheddar is made using a rare technique combining both cheeses in one pot - the Mature Cheddar is added to the curds during the traditional Alpine cheesemaking process. The wheels are then pressed into moulds and matured for 3 months. It has a semi-hard texture, with a rich, buttery mouthfeel and a complex flavor profile that hints at grassy, fruity notes. Ideal for melting, it's perfect for fondues, grilled sandwiches, or as a standout on a cheese platter.

Ingredients: raw cow's milk, salt, cultures, rennet. CONTAINS: MILK
