Bergblumenkäse – meaning mountain flower cheese – highlights the wildflowers added to the rind.
Second generation cheesemaker Thomas Stadelmann has a passion for creating different mountain style cheeses in the Toggenburg region of Switzerland.
Made using raw organic milk, the cooked curd cheeses are coated with hayflowers shortly after making. A light washing throughout maturation helps to maintain moisture and adds a hint of barnyard to the rind. With a smooth, buttery texture, the cheese has grassy, fresh pasture notes balanced by the sweetness of creamy caramel.
