…. makes kids happy – and adults too.

The delicious cream cheese made from high-quality hay milk delights not only children but also the palates of adults. Its tenderly melting consistency and smooth texture with cherry-sized holes make it a treat for all ages.

What stands out about this cheese is the quality derived from hay milk, from cows traditionally fed on fresh grass and hay, giving the cheese a distinctively mild and natural flavor.

This feeding method contributes not only to the outstanding quality of the cheese but also to sustainable and eco-friendly production.

Characteristics of Cream Cheese

Cream cheese has been produced in the Bregenzerwald for many years and has become a favorite cheese for many enthusiasts.

Its soft, melting, and aromatic texture has gained a large following.

The distinctive qualities of cream cheese are shaped by the high-quality Alpine milk, its nutrients, taste, consistency, and the flora of the Vorarlberg Alps.

This results in the exceptional quality of Alpine cheese.

Historical Background of Vorarlberg Cheese

Cheese has been produced and aged in Vorarlberg on Alpine and valley dairies since the early 20th century.

The production method of “full-fat cheese” (as opposed to low-fat cheese like Sura Käs in Montafon) originated in Switzerland and quickly spread throughout Bregenzerwald.

These cheeses are made from natural (non-thermized, unpasteurized, or non-centrifugally purified) raw milk (hay milk) with a minimum of 45% F.i.T.

The artisanal production and traditional care of this quality cheese have been maintained by the small, family-run farms that supply the raw materials and the Alpine dairies’ tradition.

Special Quality Features of Our Cheese and Yes, the Flavorful Rind Is Safe to Eat

  • The rind of cheese forms when the cheese wheels are submerged in a salt bath after shaping.
  • The salt bath aids rind formation and acts against bacteria. Depending on the type of cheese, the wheels remain in such a bath for varying durations.
  • The salt draws water from the cheese wheel. Afterwards, the wheels are regularly brushed with iodine-free salt & salt brine until fully matured.

If you wish to store large pieces or an entire 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 towel. Repeat this process ideally every 2-3 days.

If the cheese develops a slight white color or spots, it’s usually the salt or protein that crystallizes due to temperature differences. These spots can simply be wiped off.

Using aluminum foil is possible (although not recommended) if you punch several small holes to allow air flow.
