The following cheeses will surprise you this month:
La Pèdze
Fromagerie Le Grand Pré, VD
Swiss soft cheese, full-fat, made from pasteurized cow's milk
FLAVOR PROFILE
mildly strong (1-5)
This soft cheese from the Vaud region with red mold cultures comes in its traditional poplar wood rind. This makes it ideal for eating cold or warm. The poplar wood gives it a delicate, slightly woody flavor. Ideal for dessert or the world's smallest fondue.
Storage instructions: Store in a cool place at a maximum of 5 °C
Kräuterkäse
Tannzapfenland cheese, TG
Swiss semi-hard cheese, full-fat, made from thermized milk, with green herb mixture
FLAVOR PROFILE
mildly strong (1-5)
The splash of color on every cheese platter is the herb cheese from Tannzapfenland. It is not the pine needles that give it its color and refreshing taste, but the selected herb mixture of parsley, dill, tarragon and lovage. A wonderful combination of the finest cheese enjoyment and fresh herbs.
Cheese (milk, salt), green herb mix (parsley, dill, tarragon, lovage) 0.50%

Engadin Mountain Dream Organic
LESA, GR
Swiss semi-hard cheese, full-fat, made from thermized mountain milk (organic)
FLAVOR PROFILE
mildly strong (1-5)
The name lives up to its promise, because the very first bite of Engadine Mountain Dream makes us revel. A refreshing and spicy aromatic cheese with a subtle smell but a full taste on the palate. A dream that should truly never end.

Full moon cheese
Kleinstein cheese dairy, LU
Swiss semi-hard cheese, full-fat, made from thermized cow's milk, with red wine
FLAVOR PROFILE
mildly strong (1-5)
It was on a full moon night that the full moon cheese, with its fine and slightly dominant red wine note, was tasted for the first time. This occasion also led directly to its name. The Swiss Cheese Award winner promises a first-class culinary experience: a creamy, fine cheese paste combined with red wine ensures a perfect balance.
