WILD GARLIC CHEESE | Wonderfully Spicy Wild Garlic Flavor Guaranteed | Lactose-Free Semi-Hard Cheese from Pasture Milk | PREMIUM Cheese with 45% F.i.T., fresh from the cheese wheel, cut from the cheese cellar

Wild Garlic Cheese, enhanced with real wild garlic, is currently very popular. Our wild garlic semi-hard cheese has a smooth, soft texture and a wonderful cheesy aroma.

While cheeses with herbs and spices are trendy, our wild garlic cheese stays true to a purist tradition, comparable to the “purity law of beer.”

Cheeses that incorporate spices into the cheese dough typically lack complex cheese flavors developed through aging. For this reason, spice blends are often used.

Our excellent semi-hard cheese stands out for its smooth, soft texture and delightful aroma reminiscent of a forest meadow blooming with wild garlic.

The uniqueness of this cheese lies in its production: Only the edible cheese rind is carefully treated with a specially selected wild garlic blend. This fine blend harmonizes perfectly with the cheese, giving it a spicy, aromatic flavor profile.

The cheese dough itself remains free from any additives or spices, preserving the pure, natural taste of high-quality alpine milk.

The result is a semi-hard cheese that stands out for its fine, harmonious composition. The wild garlic flavor unfolds in the rind, giving the cheese a “forest memory” aroma. The taste remains pleasant and balanced without being overwhelmed by too many flavors.

Lactose-free Wild Garlic Cheese: The natural milk sugar in our hay milk or pasture 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 taste.

This cheese represents the highest quality and a conscious return to traditional cheese craftsmanship, where natural flavor is the focus. The result is a product that impresses not only with its aroma but also with its purity and simplicity.

Our Bregenz Forest Wild Garlic Semi-Hard Cheese is a treat for anyone who appreciates the pure taste of high-quality cheese. Its taste is mildly aromatic, and the spices used enhance the flavor, creating completely new flavor compositions in the cheese.

The edible rind of the wild garlic cheese is refined with ground wild garlic, giving the cheese wheel an attractive appearance and a delicate “garlic-like” flavor.

Characteristics of Wild Garlic Cheese

This fine cheese with a delicately melting, smooth texture and occasional cherry-sized holes is a special delicacy. Its mildly spicy taste and semi-firm texture make it a favorite among locals and guests.

The characteristic qualities of wild garlic cheese are greatly influenced by the high-quality milk from the alpine region, its nutrients, flavor, and texture, as well as the flora of the Vorarlberg Alps. This is what gives Alpine cheese its unique quality.

The maturation period of a full 3 months brings out the semi-hard cheese’s aroma.

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” (as opposed to lean cheese, like Sura Käse in Montafon) originated in Switzerland and quickly spread in the Bregenz Forest.

Semi-hard cheeses are made from natural (non-thermized, pasteurized or centrifuge-purified) raw milk (hay milk) with at least 45% F.i.T.

Thanks to small-scale farms supplying the raw materials and alpine dairy traditions, artisanal production and traditional care of high-quality cheese have been preserved to this day.

Storage and Aging of Wild Garlic Cheese

The semi-hard cheese is aged for about 10 weeks in the cellar, where it is turned and brushed. Then wild garlic is added to the rind for it to fully develop its flavor.

Special Quality Features of Our Semi-Hard Cheeses and YES, the Rind is Spicy and Edible

  • The rind of cheese forms when the wheels are dipped in an iodine-free salt bath after shaping.
  • The salt bath promotes rind formation and protects against bacteria. Depending on the type of cheese, the wheels remain in such a salt bath for different lengths of time.
  • The salt draws moisture out of the cheese. The wheels are then regularly treated with iodine-free salt & brine until they reach full maturity.

Taste Magic

The special feature of this semi-hard cheese is the wild garlic seasoning, which allows it to fully develop its flavor, making the cheese truly exceptional.

If you wish to store large pieces or a whole 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 bit of salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese with the damp towel. Ideally, repeat this process every 2-3 days.

If the cheese turns slightly white or develops spots, this is usually salt or protein crystallizing due to temperature differences. Simply wipe these spots off.

Using aluminum foil is possible (though not recommended); if used, add many small holes to allow airflow.

Frequently asked questions from our customers

  • Do I get the fresh alpine cheese delivery to the gram exactly?
    Naturally. But as the cheese is freshly cut down for each delivery, it is often not possible to exactly match the desired amount of cheese to 100%. If we do not have enough weight, we just add the missing piece.
  • How is the Alpine cheese packaged and how is it with the cooling?
    The cheese is airtight vacuum-packed. If necessary, the packaging is added during the warmer seasons cooling elements.
  • How long is the durability of the premium cheese?
    ‘The decisive factor is above all the temperature. If it is too warm, the cheese matures too fast. If it is too cold, the aroma suffers. If it is too warm, the cheese starts to sweat and gradually dries up. The cheese is ideally stored refrigerated (at about 8-12 ° C) for about 3 months and longer.
  • How long will it take for the cheese to arrive?
    The cheese is shipped with DPD and should reach every destination in Europe –  at the latest after 3-4 days after shopping. To Germany 48 hours.
  • Is there a minimum order quantity when buying cheese?
    Yes, every cheese type have a minimum weight. You can select different weights of each cheese.
  • Is there a maximum order quantity?
    Of course not. If you need a very large amount of cheese, that is not a problem and we will discuss it with you.
  • How much are the delivery or shipping cost?
    DPD helped us a lot. For Germany and Austria we can therefore offer a cheap national lump sum. All other shipping cost you can find under delivery cost.
  • In which countries can be delivered?
    Currently the delivery in the shop is only possible to Austria and Germany. On request we also ship to other countries.
