• RedAerobic cheese ripening means cheese ripening with oxygen. smear cheese: MountainThe Vorarlberger Bergkäse (mountain cheese) is a regional cheese specialty from the Austrian province Vorarlberg. cheese, Alpine cheese, Romadur, Limburger are “sweet produced” by rennet, the smear bacteria, brevibacterium linens, are responsible for the smear.
