The word “Ehni” in the Bregenzerwald: The Bregenzerwald dialect term EHNI means “grandfather” and is still commonly used by young and old alike. So if you hear this word in conversation, you now know who is being talked about.

“Nothing in the world is as powerful as an idea whose time has come,” once said Victor Hugo. High-quality cheese flavor is unique – and so are the harmonious synergies with spices.

It was time to sit down with the Austrian spice specialist Spiceworld and its brand STAY SPICED! to creatively explore the search for harmony together.

Discover with our new Rehmer cheese series » REHMOCTA is surprisingly DIFFERENT! « – ultimate taste experiences.

The quality of this semi-hard cheese is based not only on the traditional craftsmanship of the dairy but also on the valuable ingredients of Alpine milk or hay milk. The pure hay milk, rich in natural aromas and nutrients, gives the cheese its distinctive texture and unmistakable aroma.

CHEESE REHMOCTA® » Ehni « | Lactose-free hay milk cheese variety with STAY SPICED! spice blend + refined with cardamom & ginger | 100% Great Enjoyment Guarantee

Storage and Maturation of » Der Bärige « Cheese

The semi-hard cheese is aged for about 10 weeks in the ripening cellar, where it is carefully smeared and turned. After this process, the spice blend is applied to the cheese, allowing the spignel spice blend to fully develop its aroma.

General Quality Features of Our Rehmocta Cheeses

  • The cheese rind forms when the cheese wheels are immersed in a iodine-free salt bath after shaping.
  • The salt bath promotes rind formation and protects against bacteria. Depending on the cheese variety, the wheels remain in the salt bath for varying durations.
  • The salt draws water out of the cheese wheel. Afterward, the wheels are regularly treated with iodine-free salt & brine until fully matured.

Magic of the palate

The uniqueness of this semi-hard cheese lies in its special spice blend with an exceptionally fruity flavor. It fully develops its aroma, making this REHMOCTA cheese truly extraordinary.

How to recognize imperfect ripening – lower quality? Off-flavors, many small holes

If you plan to store large pieces or an entire EHNI cheese wheel for more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend using a kitchen towel.

Take a clean kitchen towel, soak it in salt water (just add a little salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese with the damp cloth. Ideally, this process should be repeated every 2-3 days.

If the cheese develops a slight white layer or spots, this is usually due to salt or protein crystallizing from 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 to allow air circulation.

Our Spice Partner & Expert – Spiceworld

What would the kitchen and life be without spices?

Exactly: It would lack flavor and be downright boring! Luckily, top chef Roland Trettl and SPICEWORLD think the same way, making the world a bit spicier with over 160 premium pure spices and 365 extravagant spice blends.

Their motto: “Impossible? Not at STAY SPICED!”

In 2019, SPICEWORLD, the Salzburg-based spice manufacturer, launched a new brandSTAY SPICED! – featuring a unique design and modern packaging, including color coding for all spices and spice blends.

What we love: You’ll never find E-numbers on their spice tins because they completely avoid flavor enhancers, added glutamates, artificial colors, and synthetic aromas.

STAY SPICED! represents the perfect synergy of quality, flavor, and sustainability.

Cardamom Plant – Interesting Facts – Source Wikipedia

The Green Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a plant species from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) within the monocotyledonous plants.

There are two varieties of this species that are used as spices: Malabar cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton var. cardamomum) and the less valuable Ceylon cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum var. major Thwaites).

Usually, the seeds are used, but often the entire dried capsule fruits are utilized as well.

The capsule fruits (“cardamoms”) of the cardamom plant are handpicked just before ripening because they would otherwise open and lose their seeds. In Arab countries, cardamom is said to have an aphrodisiac effect.

The seeds contain an essential oil that gives them a spicy, sweet, and pungent aroma. Since it evaporates easily, whole capsules are preferable to cardamom powder, which often includes the ground, flavorless fruit shells. It is best to crush or grind the seeds only when needed.

When crushing, press the pestle against the capsule until it pops open. Then remove the husk and grind the seeds. Good cardamom can be recognized by the fresh green color of the capsules and the oily black color of the seeds.

The medically active compound is an essential oil (about 7%), composed of over 120 compounds, primarily alpha-terpinyl acetate (about one-third), cineole (also about one-third), alpha-terpineol, limonene, linalyl acetate, linalool, hydroxycinnamic acid, fatty oil, and starch.

The essential oil stimulates the secretion of saliva, gastric juice, and bile.
