flavour

The full flavour of a natural rock cave

Ripened to full flavour with a pointed sharpness.

Finely tangy and savoury despite its subtle sweetness.

With aromas of pine from the neighbouring forests.

Firm and slightly dry on the tongue.

A complex taste experience from core to rind.

«Finely sliced Emmentaler AOP Cave-aged is best eaten in a “Caveman” cheeseburger: with a light spelt bun and a slice of tomato, some fried onions and a spoonful of crème fraîche.»
