Appenzeller Classic

by Emmi. Product of Switzerland. 

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.

At first, the taste is buttery with slightly fruity undertones. As it matures, the flavor becomes fuller and more complex reminiscent of hot toast with notes of nuttiness, herbal spice, clover, and black tea.

Appenzeller is a great Swiss cheese to use for fondue or as the foundation of a comforting bowl of mac and cheese! Suggested wine pairing: a chilled glass of off-dry Riesling. 

Ingredients: cultured cow's milk, salt, enzymes. CONTAINS: MILK
