Raclette’s balanced earthy flavor and sweetness are perfect to slather over potatoes, meat and winter root vegetables. The wheel or square can be cut in half, placed in a special Raclette holder to hold the melting cheese in place, and served in the traditional way.
This swiss cheese is semi-soft, sweet, and nutty. It is made in a 2 lb. wheel, using the old Bahl Baby Swiss family recipe.
Emmenthal (also called Swiss Cheese) is known for its grand size and its handmade quality. The Emmenthal cheese-making process is an old tradition, using pure cow`s milk and a maturation period of at least four months. This process allows the rind to develop in an entirely natural manner, enclosing an ivory-colored, mild, slightly nutty-tasting cheese with cherry- sized holes. Emmenthal from Switzerland is a delicacy on every cheese platter, a popular dessert cheese, and is a perfect melting cheese for warm dishes.
German for “Old Oak”, Ur Eiche stands out as a woman made cheese in a field dominated for generations by men. Christa Egli’s 14 lb wheels are washed with oak extract, then aged under oak planks for 10 months. The resulting cheese has the dense, eye filled texture familiar to Alpine cheese lovers, with flavors of pineapple, macadamia and, unsurprisingly, oak barrel.
Gruyere, the most popular of the Swiss hard cheeses, needs no introduction. Made from part-skim cow`s milk and lovingly cave aged, once this classic cheese with its tangy taste and exquisite, crumbly texture has been tasted, it is never forgotten
Tete de Moine (literally Monk`s Head) is a cylindrical cheese with a smear rind and is semi-hard. This cheese is not cut but shaved with a girolle into rosette shaped slices. These are best produced when the cheeses come stright from refrigeration. Tete de Moine can be enjoyed with an apertif, as dessert cheese, or just a snack.
