Herbs and Flowers Cheese, Kuh Heublumenkäse in German, is a seductive blend of fragrant dried flowers, herbs, and pure organic Bavarian cow's milk. Besides coming from high quality milk, this German cheese takes on extra character through the selection of organic flowers, including safflower, blue mallow, peony and marigold, mingled with rosemary, oregano and a dash of unrefined rock salt. The cheesemakers coat the cheese with herbs and flowers and then seal it with transparent wax. Throughout the cheese´s 6-month ripening period, the combined essences seep into the cheese's paste, rendering an innovative semi-hard cheese bursting with aroma. The creamy cow's milk balances perfectly with the herb and flower flavors.

Two cheese lovers founded the company Alp's True Cheese out of the conviction that Alpine cheese is one of the purest and tastiest in the world. They offer cheeses produced in the German and Austrian Alps through the combined efforts of Alpine village farmers and highly skilled master cheesemakers. Their collection demonstrates respect for the pristine environment and for the main player in true cheese production, the dairy cow. In the Alps, brown cows are free to graze on verdant mountain pastures and valleys from summer to early autumn. Over the winter, they are housed in cozy mountain dairy huts.

The exquisite cheeses of Alps' True Cheese hail from a unique harmony between environment, animal and man, and from a spectacular region steeped in centuries-old culture and tradition. Among their cheeses are international award winners as well as all-natural types without chemicals, artificial flavoring, coloring, gelatine or preservatives. Some are derived solely from silage-free milk stemming from cows which are not fed any genetically manipulated cereals.

Made from organic cow's milk.

Comments about Bavarian Cheese With Herbs and Flowers (Kuh Heublumenkase):

We join my sister and her husband once a month for a DVD movie selection and unusual and varied cuisine. Always good wine, fine single malts, and different and unique foods. This is incredibly unique, all of the natural flavors are imparted to the cheese. Using a Columbia Crest Chardonnay to cleanse the palate, each taste allowed a sample of a discernable herbal taste. This is a very rewarding taste experience for anyone who appreciates something different.

Comments about Bavarian Cheese With Herbs and Flowers (Kuh Heublumenkase):

This is one of the most remarkable cheese I have ever tasted. Each bite is nuanced with the different flavors of the herbs have been touching it -- rosemary, thyme, and every now and then a distinct flavor of mint and cocoa comes through. The rind comes off very easily and reveals a rich, creamy cheese.
