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.

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.

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.
