Berggenuss is a smear-rinded cheese that's mild on the nose but surprisingly aromatic, even spicy, with age. Another example of the skills of Swiss cheese maker Franz Renggli at the Oberberg mountain dairy. Berggenuss, literally translated the "enjoyment" or "treat" of the mountains, was one of the highlights the U.S. importers tasted during a trip to Switzerland during the summer of 2013. At Kaeserei Oberberg, they tasted two different stages of aging, and even the early stage of ripening revealed complex flavors. It proved what the cheese maker had explained: the quality of the pure mountain milk expresses itself in the cheese. This is a lovely cheese for fans of Appenzeller, cave aged Gruyere, or Etivaz.
  • Made from raw cow's milk.

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
