The Emmi Kaltbach Cave-Aged Gouda has been announced as a new product from the brand for the US market that will offer consumers a premium option to choose when seeking a different kind of artisanal cheese.
The cheese is crafted with Swiss milk and has been naturally ripened for three months before being cured in the brand's caves alongside other premium varieties. This helps to impart a distinct flavor and aroma to the cheese that is characterized by a dark brown rind, pale yellow hue and a flavor that is nutty and caramel-esque with a touch of pear finish.
The Emmi Kaltbach Cave-Aged Gouda was described by Emmi Master Cheesemaker Franz Kottmann who said, "Kaltbach cave-aged gouda matures alongside hundreds of other wheels inside the Kaltbach caves. The natural environment of the cave and flora from the other cheeses gives it its distinctive rind and a flavour unlike any other gouda cheese.”
