A cheese journey through Switzerland
Enjoy the finest cheese from the canton of the month every month and get to know Switzerland a little better.
This month, the following cheeses from the canton of Zurich will surprise you:
Rusty knight
Wildberg Käse AG, ZH
Swiss hard cheese, full-fat, made from raw milk
FLAVOR PROFILE
mildly strong (1-5)
The raw milk cheese from the Wildberg cheese dairy is a pearl without equal. The rusty name is due to its appearance. It develops its reddish rind during its nine-month maturing period in the vaulted cellar where it is slathered with red wine drizzle. In this setting, you would actually expect a bold knight, but instead you encounter a beautifully matured, full-bodied cheese that crumbles when sliced and melts on the tongue.
