Product details

Produced at the foot of the Säntis mountain near Appenzell, Stärnächäs has a flavour that sits somewhere between a Gruyère and an Appenzeller. The texture is slightly supple and smooth, with only the occasional crystal and a few small holes found within the paste. The sweetness is not as intense as that of an aged Gruyère, as the cheese is aged for only eight months. However, there is a quality about the flavour combined with the texture that makes it hard to stop going back for just one more nibble.

*A whole Stärnächäs Extra Mature weighs 6kg. Smaller weights are a cut of a whole cheese.
