Alpine
Alp Blossom
Paying tribute to the Alpine environment that helps shape and flavor the milk used in production, this cheese is coated in a diverse combination of dried flower petals, herbs, and spices that grow out in the pastures surrounding the dairy. The cheese is literally coated in the same things that the cows are grazing on. Head cheesemaker Albert Kraus sources milk from his brother’s neighboring herd of Brown Swiss cows. Brown Swiss cattle are known for the high butterfat content of their milk, which yields a cheese with a golden inner paste and a creamy toothsome bite.
