Rolf Beeler Sbrinz Alpage AOP, Aged 3-4 Years (per oz)

About the Cheese

Sbrinz Alpage AOP is one of Switzerland's oldest and most revered cheeses, produced exclusively from the raw milk of Alpine cows grazing on high-altitude summer pastures. Rolf Beeler — Switzerland's most celebrated affineur — selects only the finest wheels and matures them for a minimum of 36 months, developing a deeply complex, full-bodied character unlike any other hard cheese.

Price is per ounce. Please specify your desired quantity at checkout.
