Smooth as velvet, like white chocolate fudge. The softer subtleties of Appenzeller are celebrated in this evolution of the style. The Story Cheesemaker Walter Rass comes from a lon g line of Appenzeller producers. Subsidized by the Swiss government, Appenzeller production is a guaranteed income. Rass took a risk putting more and more energy into his beloved “pet project” Challerhocker (which means “cellar-sitter” and refers to those who watch over the wheels as they age). He makes this whole-milk variety that has become a staple at our cheese counters. After years of increasing its production, though, Rass can finally afford to quit the Appenzeller game. Cheers to the diversity of Swiss cheese! Quick Facts Country of Origin: SwitzerlandMilk Type/Treatment: Thermalized CowRennet Type: Animal Show more
