Günztaler Bergkäse ca.180g

The mildly aromatic ÖMA Günztaler Bergkäse is made by hand from Naturland hay milk according to an old traditional recipe. It owes its fine consistency and delicate taste to the Allgäu milk from herb-rich meadows and the careful and conscientious care taken during the ripening period. For interested customers and cheese lovers, there is background information and stories about the cheese, the farmers and the dairy. Nestled in a small high valley close to the steep slopes of the Allgäu Alps lies the ÖMA dairy, the Sellthürner Käskuche. The traditional business was founded by farmers back in 1907. The entire farm was converted to organic farming in 1995. Today, the fresh hay milk is collected daily from the 6 Naturland farms within a 15 km radius of the dairy. Our cheesemaker Rudi Gmeiner - an absolute Allgäu original - processes the milk by hand and according to old tradition in a copper kettle to produce exceptionally tasty raw milk specialties. The wheels are turned three times a week and rubbed by hand with a mixture of red smear bacteria, salt and water, allowing them to develop their flavor and form the typical rind.
