The best kept secret of Switzerland
The Appenzeller Edel-Würzig (recognizable by the purple label) is one of the most characterful and outspoken cheeses from the Swiss Appenzellerland. What makes this cheese so unique is the centuries-old, strictly secret recipe of the herbal brine (the Kräutersulz). During the impressive ripening period of no less than 9 months, the cheese is regularly washed with this extract of more than 25 mountain herbs. This allows the spicy flavor to penetrate deep into the dairy.
Because this variant is exclusively made from high-quality, unpasteurized raw cow's milk, the cheese develops a particularly powerful, robust and complex aroma. The structure is beautifully firm, but still melts wonderfully on the tongue. The Appenzeller Purple is a true delicacy on the cheese board, perfect in combination with a firm red wine or a strong beer. In addition, this cheese is a fantastic flavor enhancer in warm dishes, such as an authentic Swiss cheese fondue or a gratin.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this special Swiss mountain cheese with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Appenzeller fresh from the large round cheese at the moment you place your order. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly protect the delicate raw milk structure and the rich spicy aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you bring absolute top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Appenzeller Purple
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
Yes, the Appenzeller Edel-Würzig is artisanally prepared with unpasteurized, raw cow's milk. Because of this, the cheese is not recommended for pregnant women as a precaution.
What makes the Appenzeller Purple different from the other types?
The purple variant (Edel-Würzig) is the longest matured and most intense type. It matures for at least 9 months, unlike the Classic (silver, 3-4 months) or the Surchoix (gold, 4-6 months), which gives it an extra spicy and robust flavor.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the preparation of authentic Appenzeller cheese. As a result, the cheese is not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Do you also sell other Swiss cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Appenzeller, we have a wonderful range of traditional cheeses from Switzerland. View our complete category Swiss Cheese to discover all our alpine cheeses.
