The taste of Emmentaler AOP Réserve/Surchoix

A full-bodied richness with a subtle tang.

And an appetisingly sweet yet tart yoghurt-like aroma.

Melts in your mouth with a smooth texture and a pleasant crumble.

With delicate nuances of hay and herbs.

Cheese lovers appreciate its subtle, aromatic flavour.

«Connoisseurs love our Ticino fruit mustard with a piece of Emmentaler AOP Surchoix. The crowning glory at the end of every meal.»

Traditional craft since time immemorial. How we ripen Emmentaler AOP Réserve/Surchoix.

Jakob Leuenberger, cheese dairy Röthenbach i.E.

We select only the best wheels of cheese.

Each one weighing a hefty 95 kg.

They are aged for at least eight months in the ripening cellar.

The cellar has the perfect climate: cool with a high relative humidity.

Affineurs tend to each wheel with a great deal of care.

This sometimes includes washing the rinds with brine.

Until each one has been ripened to perfection.
