User:SaRa1988/Appenzeller (cheese)

Appenzeller is a hard cow's-milk cheese produced in the Appenzell, a region in the northeast Switzerland.

Characteristics
The cheese is made of raw milk, collected in the region between the lake Constance and the Säntis. The loaf is treated with a secret herbal brine during the cure, which flavours and preserves the cheese while promoting the formation of a rind. The Appenzeller is known a one of the spiciest cheeses of Switzerland and the special herbal brine is a trade- secret.
