Frequently Asked Questions about Appenzeller Black Extra

What is Appenzeller Black Extra?

Appenzeller Black Extra is a famous Swiss cheese made from raw cow's milk. It is known as the spiciest variant within the Appenzeller family, partly due to a special treatment with a secret herbal mixture during its maturation.

What does this cheese taste like?

The flavor is extremely powerful, spicy, and full of character, with rich herbal aromas developed during the long aging process.

Which award did this cheese win?

The Appenzeller Black Extra has been honored with the highest accolade: the Super Gold award at the prestigious World Cheese Awards 2025–2026.

Is this cheese made from raw milk?

Yes, as you can see in the ingredients list, this cheese is made with unpasteurized cow's milk (raw milk). This provides a much deeper and more authentic flavor profile, but it also means pregnant women should exercise caution when consuming it (unless the cheese is heated).

Is it suitable for shipping?

Absolutely. We cut the cheese freshly from the wheel, vacuum-pack it immediately, and ship it cooled. This ensures the premium quality and flavor are perfectly preserved right to your front door.

How should I best store the Appenzeller?

Store the cheese in the refrigerator, ideally in its original vacuum packaging. Once opened, it is best to wrap it in cheese paper or store it in an airtight container. Take the cheese out of the fridge about 20 to 30 minutes before consumption so the flavors can fully unfold.

What can I use this cheese for?

It is fantastic as the centerpiece of a luxurious cheese board, but due to its melting properties, it is also perfect for hot dishes such as gratins, quiches, or, of course, in a classic Swiss cheese fondue.
