Swiss

Since 1885, Ammerland has maintained its reputation as one of Germanys largest independent dairies while creating the high quality products that the Ammerlander region is renowned for. Their delicious Swiss cheese, with the classic, distinctive nutty flavor and smooth texture comes alive in these conveniently shaped loaves. Made with creamy cow’s milk and aged in an extremely controlled environment, Ammerland Swiss cheese retains the consistently delectable taste of Swiss cheese.

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.

Bleu de Combremont is made from cow’s milk that meets the requirements for Gruyère quality but is treated differently. Due to the blue mold cultures, the cheeses need to be taken directly from the salt brine to a cellar nearby, where they are ripened and maintained in compliance with strict climatic and microflora parameters. There the wonderful taste unfolds, and its one-of-a-kind appearance develops. Its special shape has already granted it the nickname “cinder block blue”.

Bleu de Combremont is creamy-buttery and balanced, tastes slightly peppery with hints of mushrooms and a sweet umami aromatic finish. Thanks to its creamy consistency, our bleu is spreadable and therefore tastes particularly good with a fruit bread or crackers. We recommend dried fruit or honey with a sweet white wine pairing.
