A cheese inspired by nature and the legendary traditions of Central Switzerland. “Fluehblüemli / Swiss Rockflower” (Primula auricula) are yellow alpine flowers that grow and find their way under humble conditions among craggy limestone rocks. Mainly found along the Swiss Pre-Alp region – also on the slopes of Mountain Dairy Kleinstein’s “home mountain” Pilatus massif – they have delighted many hikers’ hearts. They are signs of the times and recall the legend of the “Wildmannen” who once lived here in caves. Some of them tended to chamois which are the alpine cousin of many goat species. Back then, the chamois fed on these alpine flowers and from their milk they made cheese. When the weather allowed it, the ‘Wildmannen’ went down to the valley to help the farmers with their work. In return, they were rewarded with food and cow’s milk. Thus, they were also able to process this cow’s milk they into cheese. In imitation of the edgy and untamable wild people, Silvio, his father Albert and their team reproduce this cheese. Their mountain dairy Kleinstein is located in the Entlebuch, at the edge of the UNESCO Biosphere, far above the village of Werthenstein.
Presenting: an alpine cheese to make hay for. Inspired by its home in Western Austria`s `Hay Belt,` Senneri Huban coats this wheel in a mix of local flora, including marigold, rose petals, lavender, and chervil. This brings a slight pastoral sweetness to a cheese that is big in beefy and umami flavors, but not so overpowering that you only want a slice or two. In fact, you might find it difficult to step away from this cheese. That is, if you can find it in yourself to cut into its stunning exterior.
Made by 3 time World Cheese champion Michael Spycher from raw, grassfed milk. The dense, smooth, slightly crystalline paste tastes of chestnuts, stone fruit and broth and has a slightly sweet vanilla end note. Italco is offering this cheese in 2/9 lb wedges
