Appenzeller cheese is a hard cows milk cheese produced in the Appenzell region of northeast Switzerland. Black Label Appenzeller cheese is matured for over 6 months and has the most depth of flavour. A herbal brine, sometimes incorporating wine or cider is applied to the wheels of cheese while they cure, which flavours and preserves the cheese while promoting the formation of a rind. Appenzeller has a documented history of at least 700 years. Today, about 75 dairies produce it, each with a different recipe for their brine wash. Most of the recipes are trade secrets! With nutty notes and a spicy finish, its a very fruity cheese. The brine wash gives the cheese a great depth of flavour. A staple in a swiss fondue.
Please note that supplies from Europe are a bit hit an miss at the moment so sometimes we get the Katltbach Black label Appenzeller and sometimes the Appenzell one. The Kaltbach is the same cheese, just selected and matured in the Kaltbach caves so still equally delicious! If you have a preference please let us know in the checkout and we can get in touch if it's not the one you want!

I could not have been happier with my purchase. The staff were most helpful attentive and knowledgeable. The goods and selection/chose impeccable.
I Am so sorry for the lack of a star as, I could never obtain free deliveries as the only time I tried was on a Thursday and it arrived on the following Monday.
This was because of the company used, they have since been changed, I believe.
It has to be said, Firstly I was not charged for the goods, and secondly the goods embarrassingly arrived in perfect condition, which shows how well they were packed.
As I say I'm still going to use this cheese supplier as I believe they cannot be equaled, I just find it worrying to have the free delivery.
Laura deserves an extra mention.
Well done all.
very good. ideal for a raclette meal. not as much taste as gruyere but melts down well. not too expensive
