APPLE CIDER CHEESE | Affined Semi-Hard Cheese from Alpine Milk | Lactose-Free Cheese with 45% F.i.D., freshly cut from the cheese wheel, from the cheese cellar | Delightfully fruity and harmonious enjoyment guaranteed
With the Alpine Milk Most Cheese from Cheesemaker Christof Schneider, you hold an exceptional cheese specialty in your hands. This cheese is crafted from the finest semi-hard cheese wheels sourced from selected Bregenzerwald dairies, known for their outstanding quality.
The foundation of this unique cheese is premium hay milk, produced by cows fed exclusively with fresh grass and hay. This traditional feeding gives Most Cheese its distinct natural and aromatic flavor through traditional cheese aging.
After careful selection, the cheese is taken to the Berchtold family’s cheese cellar, where it is refined through artisanal care and aging. A highlight of this cheese is the treatment of its rind with in-house sweet apple cider.
The regular rubbing with this sweet apple cider adds a spicy and fruity note to the cheese, making it truly unique. The creamy white cut surface of the cheese has a beautiful perforation and a firm consistency, underscoring its first-class quality.
Lactose-Free Most Cheese: The natural lactose in our hay milk cheese is broken down by lactic acid bacteria. Result: lactic acid and top flavor and aroma development.
Another advantage of hay milk Most Cheese is that it is lactose-free, so even those with lactose intolerance can enjoy this special cheese without hesitation.
The Most Cheese from Cheesemaker Christof Schneider combines traditional craftsmanship with modern standards of quality and flavor.
Indulge in this exquisite cheese specialty and savor the unique flavor that can only be achieved through the use of hay milk and apple cider.
- During the cheese aging process, Most Cheese is continuously rubbed with apple cider, giving it a distinctive flavor and a yellow-orange colored cheese rind thanks to the use of the finest cider.
Our Most Cheese is part of our mild cheese varieties in our shop overview.
Our Apple Cider Cheese Tasting Tip
Try our Most Cheese with fresh marjoram, garlic, and pickled green pepper. Fresh whole grain bread and Styrian Schilcher wine pair exceptionally well.
This fine cheese with a creamy, melting texture and occasional cherry pit-sized perforations is a true delicacy. Its mild taste and soft texture also make it a popular snack cheese for locals and guests alike.
The distinctive qualities of this cream cheese are significantly influenced by the high-quality Alpine milk, its nutritional profile, flavor, and consistency, and the Vorarlberg Alpine flora.
This results in the exceptional quality of Alpine cheese.
Historical Background of Vorarlberg Cheese
Cheese has been produced and aged in Vorarlberg’s alpine and valley dairies since the early 20th century.
The production method of “fat cheese” (in contrast to low-fat cheese (Sura Käs in Montafon) originated from Switzerland and quickly spread in Bregenzerwald.
Semi-hard cheeses are made from untreated (not thermized, pasteurized, or centrifugally purified) raw milk (hay milk) with a minimum of 45% F.i.T.
Due to the small-scale farms that supply the raw material and the tradition of alpine dairies, the artisanal production and traditional care of high-quality cheese has been preserved to this day.

Cheese Holes in Apple Cider Cheese
Most Cheese has occasional cherry pit-sized holes. Its creamy white surface is beautifully perforated and firm in texture.
The Apple Cider Cheese Rind
The rind of Most Cheese is regularly treated with apple cider. Due to the protective layer of sticky sweet cider, it should not be consumed.
Storage and Aging of Apple Cider Cheese
Most Cheese is aged in its own cheese cellar for about 4 months before it is ready to be enjoyed.
Special Quality Features of Our Semi-Hard Cheeses, such as Apple Cider Cheese
- The rind of cheese forms when cheese wheels are immersed in a iodine-free salt bath after shaping.
- The salt bath promotes rind formation and acts against bacteria. Depending on the cheese type, wheels stay in the salt bath for varying lengths of time.
- The salt draws water out of the cheese. The wheels are then regularly treated with iodine-free salt & salt brine until fully matured.

Storing Apple Cider Cheese
If you want to store large pieces or a whole cheese wheel for more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend using a dish towel.
Take a clean dish towel, soak it in saltwater (just add a little salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese with the damp towel. Ideally, repeat this process every 2-3 days.
If the cheese develops a slight white coating or spots, this is usually salt or protein crystallizing due to temperature differences. Simply rub these spots off.
Using aluminum foil is possible (though we advise against it), but if you do, puncture it with small holes for air circulation.
No Bread Contact - Yeast Spores
Please never store or slice cheese on boards or surfaces that have been in contact with bread. Yeast residues from the bread can cause the cheese to mold quickly.
