Allgäu Emmental (or Allgäuer Emmentaler) is also referred to as Bavarian Swiss Cheese. One of the most famous German cheeses, it is not originally from Allgäu, but from the region of Emmental located in the Swiss canton of Bern. This cheese has been crafted there since the 18th century. In 1821, the "Swiss method" was brought to the Allgäu for the first time by Josef Aurel Stadler. Made from pure Bavarian milk, it is high in protein with a refined flavor. Our Bavarian Swiss has a rich, yellow color and large eyes. We recommend it sliced for sandwiches; cut in strips for Chef salads; or chunked for party platters. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

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.

Named after a town in East Prussia, Tilsit was invented by homesick Dutch immigrants trying to recreate Gouda. Due to various factors, they were unable to recreate their beloved cheese. What they did create was a brand new cheese they named Tilsit. Tilsit is made from partially skimmed pasteurized cow's milk and is semi-firm with a springy texture, dotted with irregularly spaced tiny holes. It was traditionally made in large wheels, but is now made in loaf form, making it easier to slice (the way it is generally eaten). The rind is washed and brushed regularly for the first two months of aging to form an outer crust that keeps its supple, smooth interior from drying out. Tilsit has a mildly pungent aroma and a tangy taste that is delicate and fruity with spicy undertones. This German favorite is excellent on sandwiches, cold or grilled. It is also great on chicken or burgers, and also can be enjoyed melted over potatoes.- 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.

This tangy, crumbly blue cheese is produced in Bavaria's Alpine countryside. German cheesemakers have spent centuries taming the inherent sharpness of the original blue-veined cheeses, passing their time-tested methods down from generation to generation. The result is an incredibly smooth, mellow white cheese with distinct blue veins. Paladin does crumble, but has enough moisture to slice as well. Take it along with you on a picnic, or add it to your favorite green salad.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
