Tiroler Bergkäse

This Austrian hard cheese is made from raw cow's milk obtained exclusively from cows feeding on green fodder and hay. The milk must be free of any additives, which is what gives this Tyrolean cheese its distinctively intense natural flavor. Tiroler Bergkäse has a hard rind, while the paste is somewhat softer, ivory to light yellow in color and it has evenly distributed pea-sized eyes.

The flavor of this Alpine delicacy ranges from mildly aromatic to slightly piquant. It's recommended to pair it with light dry white wines.
