L’Alpin

The Alpine, our newest addition to our selection of cheese, is a firm cheese with a washed rind made with cow’s milk that pays homage to its name.

This cheese will coat your palette with exquisite notes of browned butter and oyster mushrooms with a hint of spice that lingers and transforms with every minute.

As its name suggests, the Alpine was created as a nod to traditional Swiss cheese fabricated high in the alps, with its firmer texture and earthier notes.

Cheese preservation

Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds

To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.

The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.

This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.

Preservation
  • “Great cheese”

    “This place is fantastic. Just happened upon it on a quick trip over the border from Vermont. Great cheese, French bread and service. We sat outside in their pretty picnic area and had a gourmet lunch (including some olives). They also sell a variety of other specialty items too. We just loved the whole experience! ”

  • “We love it!”

    “We have our vacation home just over the border in Vermont and make our mandatory trip to Fritz Kaiser quite often. We love it! We have introduced this wonderful cheese to our visiting friends and family and now they are hooked too! Can’t wait until we go again! ”
