Hofkäserei Kraus - Alp Blossom, raw cow's milk with herbs and flowers, aged 7 mos. (Bavaria, priced per ounce)

Juicy and accessible in texture, milky and fresh in taste with notes of hazelnut – and the affinage with dried alpine flowers and herbs, which are pressed onto the cheese wheels by hand.  A confetti of dried summer flowers and herbs.

Wheels made with incredibly rich, unskimmed milk are covered with local flowers and set to age. The result is an alpine deeply rich, floral, and with notes of brioche. Raw cow's milk. Traditional rennet.
