The rich tradition of Sbrinz AOP

The Alp Sbrinz AOP is often considered one of the oldest cheeses in Europe, with roots going back centuries in Central Switzerland. This robust mountain cheese is made exclusively from raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk. The cows graze in the lush alpine meadows, which gives the milk an unprecedentedly rich and spicy aroma. What makes the Sbrinz AOP so special is its exceptionally long ripening time. The cheese often matures for eighteen months to up to three years in traditional cellars, which gives it its famous extra hard and crumbly texture.

Sbrinz AOP is a fantastic and versatile alternative to Italian Parmesan cheese. The taste is powerful, piquant and full of nutty and roasted notes. You can serve this cheese in various ways. Break it into irregular pieces (known in Switzerland as 'Möckli') for the cheese board, shave it into paper-thin curls over a carpaccio or salad, or grate the Sbrinz fresh over your favorite warm pasta dish. This Swiss cheese gives every meal an enormous flavor boost.

Freshly cut from the knife for absolute top quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this exclusive mountain cheese with the deepest respect. We only cut your piece of Alp Sbrinz AOP fresh from the large cheese the moment you place your order. Immediately afterwards, your piece is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the complex aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home, which you can easily keep fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Alp Sbrinz AOP

Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?

Although Sbrinz is an extra hard cheese with very little moisture (which makes bacterial growth difficult), the cheese is made from raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk. Therefore, as a precaution, we advise pregnant women against consuming this cheese.

Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?

No, animal rennet is used in the traditional preparation of Sbrinz AOP. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.

Can I use Sbrinz instead of Parmesan?

Absolutely! Sbrinz AOP is the Swiss counterpart to Parmesan cheese and has excellent grating properties. The cheese is wonderfully spicy and salty, making it a perfect match for pasta or risotto.

Do you also sell other Swiss cheeses?

Certainly! In addition to the Sbrinz AOP, we have a wonderful range of classics from Switzerland, including Emmentaler and Gruyere. View our complete category Swiss Cheese to discover all alpine cheeses.
