Each kit features four specialty Swiss-made cheeses aged in Emmi’s Kaltbach Cave
FITCHBURG, Wisconsin – Emmi, the nation’s largest importer of specialty cheese from Switzerland, is offering a new cheeseboard kit for foodservice professionals featuring four specialty cheeses aged in Emmi’s Kaltbach Cave.
Located in the Alpine Valley of Switzerland, the Kaltbach Cave is a 22-million-year-old natural sandstone labyrinth where only the best wheels of Emmi cheese are aged. A small river runs through the cave naturally maintaining a consistent humidity level and creating a one-of-a-kind, mineral-rich environment for aging cheese.
This unique kit features four of Emmi’s renowned Kaltbach cave-aged cheeses including:
- Kaltbach Emmentaler® AOP – a firm cheese with nutty flavor, slight acidity and a hint of herbs.
- Kaltbach Le Gruyère AOP – a smooth, yet dense, cheese with a slight flake and pronounced crystal crunch.
- Kaltbach Le Crémeux – a semi-soft
washed-rind cheese with a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a custard-like flavor reminiscent
of a soft cooked egg yolk in a bowl of ramen.
- Kaltbach Cave-Aged Gouda – a NEW creamy cheese with a dark brown rustic rind, nutty caramel flavor and a hint of pear on the finish.
The Kaltbach Cheese Kit includes 2.25-2.5 pounds of each cheese variety, equating to half-ounce servings for nearly 300 individuals.
