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.

  • “Kaiser Cheese”

    A cheese lover’s paradise. I could eat cheese here 6 days a week, accompanied by good bread from the neighboring bakery.

  • “Wow!”

    Simply fantastic. Clean and in the middle of nowhere, but it’s definitely worth the trip. The people working there are very pleasant.
