MOUNTAIN HARD CHEESE – SO SPECIAL THAT IT IS EU PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN

Discover authentic Vorarlberg Mountain Cheese specialties

An authentic Vorarlberg mountain cheese (Bergkäse) represents the pinnacle of traditional alpine cheesemaking. In this category, we have gathered the finest, artisanally crafted mountain cheese varieties from our local alpine dairies for you. Each wheel tells the story of high mountain pastures, crisp alpine air, and centuries-old cheesemaking heritage. Whether you prefer a delicately nutty young mountain cheese or an intensely spicy, long-aged alpine reserve - the secret behind this rich depth of flavor always lies in pure Vorarlberg hay milk. Because our cows feed exclusively on wild herbs and fresh grasses in summer and fine sun-dried hay in winter, our raw milk mountain cheese offers an unadulterated taste of pure nature in every single bite.

Handcrafted perfection: Traditionally aged & naturally lactose-free

Patience and craftsmanship are the key ingredients of true mountain cheese. Aged in traditional cheese cellars and lovingly cared for with natural brine, each variety develops its distinctive rind and complex flavor profile. Thanks to this long, natural maturation process, every mountain cheese in our selection is naturally lactose-free and highly digestible. A true highlight for refined cheese platters, traditional fondue, or grating over savory alpine dishes.
