Located in: Cheese, Switzerland

This Swiss cheese is crafted in the canton of Appenzell, near the Austrian border. After it ages for approximately three months, Appenzeller achieves its ideal form: pressed, cooked-curd, brushed-rind cheese with occasional pea-sized holes. It has a pleasantly smooth texture, but this cheese's true allure is its fruity tang. In fact, Appenzeller pairs extremely well with fresh fruit; it melts nicely also.

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk; aged for 90 days.

We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Comments about Appenzeller:

Only the Best from the beautiful small Alps town of Appenzel, I have personaly been there and it is a MUST if ever in Switzerland, and try their cheese, especially the Appelzeller Fondue. This Appenzeler Cheese I like best on a cracker with Rosemary, don't eat it just by itself.

Describe Yourself:

I like Good Food

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Appenzeller:

For my tastes, it is not a stand-alone cheese because the bold flavor on its own is not my favorite. However, this cheese has its place. It is a great complement to other flavors, especially in fondue. Melts very well.

Sharp taste

Best Uses:

A tasty alternative

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Appenzeller:

Appenzeller has long been one of my favorite cheeses. It's an excellent alternative to supermarket sharp cheese. Unfortunately, Igourmet's Appenzeller is a not quite as sharp as some Appenzellers I've purchased at specialty shops in CA, NJ, or NYC.

Fresh and tasty not suffering from low turnover characteristics of being dry and lacking in rich taste.

As good as I have tasted.
