Milk

• Unpasteurized
Emmentaler is the original Swiss cheese, distinguished by
• Cow’s
the many holes in these massive wheels. Emmi Roth bring

this to us in a nine pound wedge, from wheels aged in the Flavor
famous Kaltbach Caves. Emmi works with small farmers
close to the creamery to source milk, and after three • Earthy
months with cheesemaker, the best wheels are moved to • Nutty
the caves for six more months. The sandstone cave was
created in the last ice-age, in horizontal layers with a river Texture
running through it at the bottom. Kaltbach is “cold river” in
• Semi-hard
German. Conditions in the cave are very steady, with

temperature around 52 degrees and humidity of 96%. The • Creamy
minerals, microflora, and moisture present in the cave Pairing
develop a pecial relationship with the cheese, producing a
distinct aroma, dark rind color, and the smooth creamy • Oaky Chardonnay
texture. The flavor is nutty with a slight acidity and a hint of • Nut Butters
herbs, with a firm, yet supple texture. Use it in a gratin

and elevate your potatoes to amazing heights.
