Appenzeller White is a classic Alpine with the creaminess factor turned way up. That’s thanks to a boost from extra cream and only three months of aging. The smooth texture carries a delicate savory flavor across the palate, with light aromas of fruit and herbs. Expect a subtler bite than older, more robust Appenzeller—this is mellow, rich, and infinitely snackable. Melt it into fondue, or slice alongside Creminelli Wild Boar Salami and Le Bon Magot Tomato & White Sultana Chutney.
“The ultimate experience is snacking on Appenzeller White while sipping Apenzeller AlpenBitter on the side of a mountain. Barring that I love it with a good amaro and some dried cherries.”

- This is an AOC-protected cheese. AOC stands for “appellation d'origine contrôlée” or controlled designation of origin. This label ensures that the product is made according to its traditions—it has to be produced in a certain region according to specific processes and packaged in a specific way.
When you receive your cheese, unpack the order and refrigerate the items. We recommend using the cheese paper we send most of our products in to store the cheese. The cheese paper helps cover the items and stop them from drying out, while also allowing the cheese to breathe. Since cheese is mold, it's a living thing! If you cut off air circulation to the cheese, you can actually cause it to suffocate and spoil at a faster rate.
