A great yummy cheese.

Not so good barely taste for chili!
Stephan –
Hello Mr. Cizek, thanks for your review. Cheese is always individual in taste. We do not add too much chilli – it’s all about chili. The most important thing for us is always to preserve the taste of the cheese dough – the most important quality feature – and not the spice. The cheese dough (this is the art of the dairyman) is therefore never “mixed” with spices – almost a purity requirement. Best regards from Vorarlberg – Your Alpen Sepp Team
