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.
Gruyere is still made in village dairies using knowledge that has been handed down through generations, and of course through training that cheesemakers now undergo. With a slightly sweet yet meaty flavor, Gruyere is smooth and creamy when young, and develops a more earthy and complex flavor as it ages. In this form the cheese is easier for foodservice to slice and also convenient for small shops to handle.
The raw, robust milk that goes into Appenzeller comes from cows that graze in the lush meadows of the region. Cheesemakers wash each wheel with a secret herbal brine infused with wine, cider and a mixture of herbs, blossoms and other natural ingredients. All of which adds a complex flavor that connoisseurs desire. Appenzeller is noted for its nutty flavor combined with an herbal spiciness, suggesting ginger, black tea and clover.
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.
Named after the yellow Alpine flowers growing in the Entlebuch, where Silvio Schopfer sources fresh raw milk from cows grazing on high Alpine meadow flowers, Rockflower is the newest addition to Gourmino’s smaller Alpine specialty cheeses. This cheese is semi firm but more pliable than most Alpine cheeses aged as long, and the flavor is strongly umami, balanced by notes of pine nut and white flowers
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.
