The Sennerei Alpine Cheese, also known as Senn Alpine Cheese, is a traditional cheese with a long history in our dairy and stands out for its exceptional quality.
Made from the finest Alpine milk, also called hay milk here and protected, from cows raised in humane conditions and fed exclusively on fresh grass and hay from the Vorarlberg Alpine meadows, this cheese embodies the authentic taste of the region.
With an aging time of at least three months, this semi-hard cheese develops a rich, spicy aroma that delights lovers of traditional cheese varieties. The soft, aromatic texture of this cheese melts delicately in the mouth, offering a harmonious range of flavors that combines both mild and spicy notes. This unique combination makes Alpine cheese a versatile companion in the kitchen and a delight in every meal.
Lactose-Free Alpine Cheese: The natural milk sugar in our hay milk cheese is broken down by lactic acid bacteria. Result: lactic acid plus extraordinary flavor and aroma development.
The semi-hard cheese is also lactose-free, making it accessible to people with lactose intolerance without compromising on flavor.
The quality of this cheese is based not only on the craftsmanship tradition of the dairy but also on the valuable nutrients of the Alpine milk. The pure hay milk, rich in natural flavors and nutrients, gives the cheese its characteristic texture and unique aroma.
The spicy Senn Alpine Cheese is not only a taste experience but also a piece of Alpine tradition that can be felt in every bite.
It is the ideal cheese for those who place the highest value on quality and authentic enjoyment. Enjoy the special care and craftsmanship embedded in every wheel.
If you prefer it more intense and spicy, we recommend the masterpiece of the Senn’s with an extra-long aging time of at least 4 months HERE

The semi-hard cheese remains delicately melting and is especially suitable for raclette or as part of a snack platter or cheese plate.
The characteristic features of dairy cheese are influenced by the high-quality milk from the Alps from humanely raised cows, its ingredients, taste, and texture, and by the Vorarlberg Alpine meadows.
This results in the special quality of Alpine cheese.
Cheese has been produced and matured in Vorarlberg’s alpine and valley dairies since the beginning of the last century.
The production method of “fat cheese” (as opposed to lean cheese (Sura Käs in Montafon) originally came from Switzerland and rapidly spread in the Bregenzerwald.
Semi-hard cheeses are made from untreated (non-thermized, non-pasteurized or non-centrifuged) raw milk (hay milk) with at least 45% F.i.T.
Through the small-scale farms that supply the raw material and the Alpine dairy tradition, the craftsmanship and traditional care of high-quality cheese have been preserved to this day.

The Senn Alpine Cheese presents with a soft texture and cherry-to hazelnut-sized holes.
Senn Alpine Cheese has a washed brown-yellow rind.
Alps Cheese is stored for at least 3 months in the cheese cellar, creating a unique cheese flavor. Its aromatic taste becomes even more tangy with age.
The uniqueness of Alps Cheese lies in its bold-mild, distinct cheese flavor.

If you want to store large pieces or a whole Senn Alpine Cheese wheel for more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend using a dishcloth.
Take a clean dishcloth, soak it in saltwater (just add a little salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese with the damp cloth. Ideally, repeat this process every 2-3 days.
If the cheese becomes slightly white or gets spots, this is usually salt or protein crystallizing due to temperature differences. These areas can simply be wiped off.
Using aluminum foil is possible (though we advise against it) if it is perforated with many small holes for airflow.
Please never store or cut cheese on boards, wood, or surfaces where bread has been previously placed. Bread yeast residues can quickly make the cheese moldy.
