SPICY CHEESE VARIETIES IN THE CHEESE SHOP

Discover our spicy semi-hard cheese specialties from Vorarlberg

If you love characterful, full-bodied flavors, our spicy semi-hard cheeses (würziger Schnittkäse) are made for you. In this category, we have put together a selection of our most flavorful, robust, and piquant creations from our local Vorarlberg alpine dairies. Each wheel matures to perfection, developing a rich and savory depth that true cheese lovers adore. Whether it's an intensely aromatic dry-aged specialty, a bold chili-infused creation, or a traditionally cellar-ripened semi-hard cheese with red smear – the foundation of this incredible flavor is always pure, natural Vorarlberg hay milk. Because our cows feed exclusively on wild herbs and fresh grasses in summer and sun-dried hay in winter, the milk provides a delightfully creamy structure that perfectly balances the spicy, robust notes.

Full-bodied flavor: Traditionally cellar-aged & naturally lactose-free

Masterful aging in traditional cheese cellars gives our spicy semi-hard cheeses their distinctive crusts and intense, complex aromas. Thanks to this natural, artisanal maturation process, every single cheese in our selection is completely lactose-free and highly digestible. These spicy varieties are absolute crowd-pleasers on hearty snack platters, ideal for melting in raclette and fondue, or adding a savory boost to your favorite hot recipes.
