I scream, you scream, we all scream for triple crème. Especially one as creamy and rich as Moser Screamer, a bloomy rind button that’s a delightful departure in style from typical Swiss cheesemaking. It eats like lightly salted butter in cheese form, with the slight sweetness of fresh cream. The texture is fluffy but still substantial, and don’t dream of discarding that thin, delicate rind. Pack it up for a picnic with jar of slightly tart Murray’s Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves to offset the richness.
“I’m all for Swiss cheesemakers branching out into new styles! And Moser nails the bloomy rind triple crème here, it rivals some of my French favorites.”
- Moser Screamer is a bloomy rind cheese, named for the white mold that “blooms” on the rind, which is responsible for breaking down the interior paste and creating its silky texture.
- It’s also a triple-crème cheese, meaning cream is added during the production process to reach the required 75% butterfat.
- Butterfat content in cheese is measured as a percentage of “fat in dry matter," indicating that at least 75% of the solids in a triple-crème cheese are butterfat.
- Switzerland is generally known for its Alpine giants such as Gruyère, Emmentaler, and Appenzeller, but some dairies, like Moser, depart from the traditional style.
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.
