The best kept secret of Switzerland
The Appenzeller Gold Surchoix is without a doubt one of the most pronounced cheeses from the Swiss Alps. This cheese is traditionally prepared from raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk, from cows that are fed exclusively with fresh Alpine grass and hay. During the maturation process of 4 to 6 months, something magical happens: the cheese is repeatedly washed with the 'Kräutersulz', a strictly secret mixture of herbs, blossoms, roots and spices.
This herbal bath slowly penetrates the cheese and gives the Appenzeller its legendary spicy, herbal and full flavor. The Surchoix (often indicated with a gold-colored label) is the extra matured variant, which provides an even more powerful and complex aroma than the classic Appenzeller. This cheese is a true taste explosion on a luxurious cheese board, fantastic in combination with a robust red wine, and also melts phenomenally. This makes it a popular ingredient in a traditional Swiss cheese fondue or warm casserole.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this Swiss pride with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Appenzeller fresh from the large cheese wheel the moment your order arrives. Immediately afterwards we pack your cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly protect the firm structure and the rich, spicy aromas during the journey, we always ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This way you are guaranteed to bring fresh top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Appenzeller Gold Surchoix
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
No. Because this Appenzeller is traditionally prepared with raw (unpasteurized) cow's milk, we advise against consuming this cheese during pregnancy as a precaution.
Can I use this cheese for cheese fondue?
Yes, certainly! Appenzeller is known for its fantastic melting properties and powerful flavor. Adding Appenzeller to your fondue (for example in combination with Gruyère and Emmentaler) gives the dish a wonderfully spicy and herbal kick.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the preparation of traditional Appenzeller. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
