The name “Merboth” comes from the Bregenzerwald legend from Egg: Merboth, Diedo, and Ilga – see tab.

The new Rehmer cheese series »REHMOCTA!« is a special semi-hard cheese of the highest quality from the Rehmen dairy in Au. The cheese rind is given special treatment before the aging process.

“Nothing in the world is as powerful as an idea whose time has come,” said Victor Hugo. Premium cheese flavor is unique – and so are the harmonious synergies with spices.

It was time to sit down with the Austrian spice specialist Spiceworld under the STAY SPICED! brand and creatively seek harmony together.

Storage and Aging of » MERBOTH « Cheese

The semi-hard cheese is aged for about 10 weeks in the aging cellar, during which it is brushed and turned. After this treatment, the spice blend is applied to the cheese, and it is packaged. This is when the pepper-orange blend releases its full aroma.

General Quality Features of Our Rehmocta Cheeses

  • The rind of cheese forms when the cheese wheels are placed in a iodine-free salt bath after molding.
  • The salt bath promotes rind formation and prevents bacteria. Depending on the type of cheese, the wheels remain in the salt bath for varying durations.
  • The salt draws water out of the cheese. Subsequently, the cheese wheels are regularly treated with iodine-free salt & brine until fully matured.

A Magical Treat

The specialty of this semi-hard cheese is the balanced orange-pepper spice blend. It unleashes its full aroma, making the Merboth cheese truly extraordinary.

If you plan to store large pieces or an entire MERBOTH cheese wheel for more than 2–3 weeks, we recommend using a dish towel.

Take a clean dish towel, soak it in salted water (simply add a little salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese in the damp towel. Ideally, this process should be repeated every 2–3 days.

If the cheese develops a slight white film or spots, this is usually salt or protein that crystallizes due to temperature differences. Simply rub these areas off.

Using aluminum foil is also possible (though not recommended), but ensure that it has many small holes for air circulation.
