Cow's cheese • Hard, Semi-hard • Swiss
£5.40 per 100g
Price range: £13.50 through £54.00
Chällerhocker, pronounced ‘holler hocker’, means sitting in the cellar. The cheese is from Kaserei Tufertschwil in the Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, with the milk coming from a maximum of 1.5 km away, from local farmers. This is a deliciously smooth and rich Swiss mountain cheese, washed with brine. Matured for a minimum of 10 months, it is the perfect cheese to pair with a hearty red wine over the winter months.
This is a real show stopper. Long, intense, savoury notes. Hints of crispy roast chicken skins and butter fried onions.
