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.

Although Germany is a country with a massive dairy industry, their cheeses remain relatively unknown to those of us outside its borders. One reason for this could be the majority of German cheeses are simply imitations of its neighbor's specialties. However, there are exceptions. Bruder Basil comes to us from Bavaria and is made in the tradition of Rauchkäse, a smoked cheese typical of the region. Originally, Basils were manufactured by Trappist Monks in the Abbey of Rotthalmunster. In 1902, Basil Weixler founded the Bergader Private Cheese Dairy. Today, Bergader still works in accordance with this old tradition of craftmanship. It is still smoked over selected beech wood, which gives it its special flavor. This semi-soft cows milk cheese has a darker, natural rind and a rich, creamy texture. With its smoky flavor, Bruder Basil is ideal for grilled sandwiches; as an alternative to raclette and gratins; and perfect for snacking with your favorite dark German beer or dry white wine.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Hirtenkäse is a traditionally handmade product of the Allgäu mountain region in the south of Germany. This majestic cheese is rustic, savory and firm textured. It is an authentic mountain cheese with a rugged, earthy aroma.
The rich cow's milk for Hirtenkäse comes from mountain farmers. Their cows graze in elevations of at least 2600 feet. The farmers have only about 12 to 15 cows per farm, and each one is well cared for. These pampered cows enjoy the fragrant grasses on alpine meadows in the summer and spend the winters in their cozy barn, eating aromatic hay. This humane, loving treatment results in wonderful, rich milk that makes a spectacular cheese. In mid-September there is a big festival in the Allgäu called the "Viehscheid". A "lead cow" is decorated with flowers and all the region's cows are herded down from the mountains to their barns. That's where the name Hirtenkäse comes from. It is German for "cow shepherd's cheese".
Hirtenkäse won two gold medals at the World Cheese Awards in London, England in 2005. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Schoenegger Kaese-Alm has created a classic Bavarian cheese. They use fresh, unpasteurized milk from cows raised on mountain farms in protected regions of Europe where they are fed on fresh grass and hay. They were granted a special license from Prince Luitpold of Bavaria (great grandson of the last King of Bavaria, Ludwig II), to make Konig Ludwig Bierkase. König Ludwig Dunkel is a bottom-fermentation dark specialty beer, produced in accordance with traditional Bavarian brewing methods. This special beer is made in one of the last castle breweries in the heart of Bavaria, south of Munich in Kaltenberg Castle.
König Ludwig Bierkäse is a delicate yellow, semi-hard cheese with small holes ripened in fine King Ludwig dark beer to give it its hearty taste. This Dark Beer Cheese melts well for cooking, but is just terrific on its own or served with hearty German bread and a good beer.- Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

An exciting new cheese from Bavaria has made its way to our shores. Called Konigskase (King's Cheese), it is made from milk taken from cows that are exclusively raised on mountain farms in protected regions. In this pristine environment, the cows only feed on fresh grass or hay. The cheesemakers use unpasteurized milk and produce different varieties of hard and semi-hard cheeses using completely natural methods, free from preservatives. Their specialties include King's Cheese, which is moderately aromatic and royally delicious, and King Ludwig's Bierkäse (beer cheese), which is brushed with dark beer during maturation. King's Cheese has a golden yellow appearance and a semi-hard texture. It is perfect for slicing and melting, making it an ideal candidate for sandwiches and fondue.-

Almost universally known today as a stinky German cheese, Limburger was originally created by Belgian Trappist monks. The Germans, noted in the dairy world for their mimicry, latched on to the Belgian recipe and made it their own. Strangely enough, in the 1880's, a New Yorker named Emil Frey copied the recipe for Limburger and created Liederkranz - in effect, creating a copy of a copy! This pasteurized cow's milk cheese has a tangy, creamy, Brie-like flavor with an incredibly pungent aroma. This perfume, which is caused by bacteria living in the rind, indicates a strong tasting cheese. However, Limburger is actually fairly tame, especially when you trim the rind. It is best when served with plenty of cold beer. Other good accompaniments are tinned fish, onions, crackers, fruits, and vegetables.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Rauchkäse is a smoked cheese typical of Bavaria. This specialty was originally produced by Trappist Monks in the abbey of Rotthalmunster. Today, there are many versions of Rauchkase being produced in Bavaria. The most well known version is Bruder Basil. Like Bruder Basil, Rauchkase is also smoked over select beechwood embers. But, Rauchkase is a more artisanal cheese with more body and texture in comparison to the smoothness of Bruder Basil. The rich, buttery Bavarian cow's milk complements the smoking, creating a robust, smoky aroma with a delicate smoky flavor.
You can cook with Rauchkase, but we recommend doing as the Bavarians do; just cut slices and eat with your favorite breads, cold cuts, and raw veggies. If you are not having it for breakfast, then don't forget the beer!- Made from pasteurized cow's milk. Aged for 4 months.
