Chaque meule de fromage Appenzeller est fabriquée à partir de lait de vache pur et non pasteurisé provenant de vaches qui paissent exclusivement sur les herbes et les herbes luxuriantes de la pittoresque région alpine connue sous le nom d'Alpstein. L'Appenzellen est régulièrement baigné dans une saumure secrète aux herbes tout au long de sa période de maturation minimale de trois mois. Cette saumure confère la saveur distincte que les amateurs de fromage adorent. Un fromage suisse par excellence, doté de trous caractéristiques.
Cooking Instructions / Tips
Arrival of the cheese
If you plan on keeping your cheese for a longer time, please vacuum seal it again once the cheese has arrived. Otherwise, we recommend keeping the cheese in tight plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Sometimes the cheese might be a little softer and start "sweating." If this happens, please put the cheese back in the fridge and it will become harder again. This won't affect the taste or quality of the cheese.
Wrapping
Wrap Gouda cheese in wax paper or parchment paper first, then cover it with a layer of plastic wrap or place it in a resealable plastic bag. This allows the cheese to breathe while preventing it from drying out.
Alternatively, you can use cheese-specific storage paper or bags that are designed to maintain the optimal humidity for cheese.
Storage of the cheese 4>
The cheese is best stored in the fridge between temperatures of 1.7 celsius and 7 celcies.
Eating the cheese
We recommend keeping the cheese outside the fridge for 30 minutes before eating. This way the flavour will be best enjoyed
Can I freeze cheese?
It is better not to freeze cheese because this will affect the taste
Help there is a little bit of mold on the surface
No worries, sometimes this can happen over time, you can cut off the moldy part, ensuring to cut about an inch around and below the mold. The remaining cheese should be fine to eat. However, if the mold has deeply penetrated the cheese, it’s best to discard it.
