Lhney & Johana – The Cheese Ladies
SELECTED BY L'ATELIER DU FROMAGE
Apéro Box – April 2022
Featuring the Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden
Urnäscher Weinmutschli
Characteristics : A semi-hard cheese made with red wine and aged for 5 to 7 weeks
Type of Milk : Mountain milk, pasteurized cow’s milk
Tasting Notes : Rich flavors of red wine come through with this creamy cheese. It has a light woody taste and the aroma reminds us of the inside of a wine barrel. The cheese is soaked for a few days in a fine red wine which imparts its complex taste. Some of the wine crystals settle on the edible rind which is a nice textural component when enjoying this cheese.
Serving Suggestion : A beautiful apéro cheese with a wine-colored crust looks stunning on a cheese board. Perfect to enjoy with a variety of red or white wines!
Urnäscher Edelweiss Paprika-Pfeffermantel
Urnäscher Milchspezialitäten
Canton: Appenzell Ausserrhoden
Urnäscher Edelweiss Paprika-Pfeffermantel
Characteristics : A soft, cream cheese coated with spices and aged 10 days
Type of Milk : Mountain milk, pasteurized cow’s milk
Tasting Notes : This soft mountain milk cheese with a bloomy white rind is enrobed with cracked black pepper and paprika. The special crust adds a kick of spice and texture to the creamy, soft dough. We love how the spice does not overwhelm the cheese and you can still taste the mountain milk.
Serving Suggestion : Spread on top of a crusty baguette and pour yourself a glass of your favorite full-bodied red wine. Heaven!
