Pasteurization

This red waxed gourmet cheese truckle is named after the Smith O’Brien home of Cahermoyle, Ardagh, where this medieval monastic cheese was revived about a hundred years ago. This is an adventurous red waxed cheese, veined with red wine, was revived from an old Limerick Palatine Recipe. It has a sharp taste with a strong presence of dry red wine. Enjoyed best on crackers or crisp-bread with a glass of vintage port.

A unique speciality from Kaamps, one of the few remaining Dutch farmstead creameries.

During preparation, the cheese curd is washed in Maple Syrup Whiskey; whiskey that contains maple syrup. Washing the cheese in this whiskey gives it a somewhat woody character with a sweet undertone.

Emmi's Kaltbach cheeses are carefully crafted in the deep, cool Kaltbach Caves. Located in the Alpine Valley of Switzerland, these caves are a 22-million-year-old natural sandstone labyrinth with a small tranquil river running through. In fact, Kaltbach means “cold river” and it’s what allows for a constant humidity of 96 percent in the mineral-rich cave air. The natural climatic conditions in the caves regulates the humidity, which is a crucial part of the texture and flavour development and what makes this cheese unlike any other in the world.

The Lankaaster is made from the milk of local Brown Swiss cows. Shaped in a loaf and coated in a colorful waxy rind Lankaaster is a hard crumbly cheese with a slightly open texture. It is rich and dense, a little chewy, with butter and nutty flavours, caramel and a mild fruity pineapple tang.

The cheese is shaped as a loaf to express the fact that it is meant to be sliced and eaten directly on bread as the Dutch farmers do. It has a unique profile that is given by the specific starter culture used that makes it typical of cheeses made on Dutch farms earlier in the century.
