story
the traditional cheese from the emmental, which has been produced since the beginning of history (we don't know). The emmental cheese is now basically produced in wheels of 80 kg. But we still have it in the good old way. Size: almost 1 meter in diameter, 30 centimeters high and weighing 120 kg – exactly as our ancestors used to produce it. the origin of this rather unusual size goes back to a time when customs duties were still levied at the borders of Switzerland – for cheese this was due per wheel and not per kilogram. The sophisticated cheese makers from the emmental responded with the enormous specimens of the famous emmental.
character
its smell is somewhat reminiscent of the fine scent of animals and fresh hay. These sensual impressions allow you to mentally experience a walk through the hilly emmental. the structure is elastic, the taste is slightly sour. the rustic one is reminiscent of a stable in which fresh straw has just been scattered – it couldn't be more natural. to put the peculiarity of the emmental in words seems almost impossible – you have to try it.
