When cheese devotees crave something spicy, they look no further than Appenzeller. Using a closely guarded secret recipe that dates back 700 years, only 60 village dairies produce this delicacy in Appenzellerland in the Swiss mountains.
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.
