Braunwalder
(Raw – cow’s milk)
Alp Braunwald, Switzerland
The Striff family are 4th generation dairy farmers, who make cheese from 2 of the five mountain herds near Tschudiberg.  They now produce AOP Glarner Alpkase under their regional name Braunwalder.
The cheese develops slowly, allowing the sweet cream and cool hay notes to join the deep pasture/barn DNA of this essential Alp cheese.

Wildspitz
(Thermalized Raw -cow and goats’ milk)
Switzerland
Wild Spitz Bio is an artisanal farmstead cheese from the foothills of the Swiss Alps. This hard cheese is made from a combination of organic cow’s milk (95%) and organic goat’s milk (5%). Not only is the milk organic, but it is sourced from grass-fed animals living naturally on lush mountain pastures.

This cheese has a complex, nuanced flavor that slowly develops under repeated washings with a salt water brine. It has a rich creaminess, herbal notes, and a mouth-watering tanginess. The sharpness on the finish comes not only from the goat’s milk but also the extended aging process.
A must try for fans of Gruyere or Appenzeller.
