Appenzeller corsé BEILLEVAIRE

Like 700 years ago, Appenzeller cheese is produced according to an ancient tradition craft and a recipe handed down from generation to generation in about fifty village cheese factories – without any additives and with natural raw milk from cows fed exclusively on grass and hay. During ripening, each Appenzeller® cheese is regularly treated with herbs brine, for three month in the case of organic mild.
