Product details & serving guidance
Hornbacher - Mountain Dairy Fritzenhaus *Third of a Pound*
Hornbacher comes from Mountain Dairy Fritzenhaus in Switzerland, where local farmers deliver milk twice a day from the hills around the dairy. It is a rich, nutty alpine cheese with a bit of funk, and it tastes like the pastures it came from.
Twice daily milk — local farmers deliver fresh milk twice a day, which is the basis for a cheese like this.
Summer grazing — the cows graze the lush meadows all summer and eat fine hay through the winter.
Rich and nutty — a rich, nutty alpine flavor with well balanced funk.
Long ripening — the quality of the milk is what allows a natural, long ripening.
Raw cow's milk — unpasteurized, from Switzerland, affinage by Gourmino Selections.
