Challerhocker Lb
$34.99
Created by Walter Rass, the master cheesemaker at Kaserei Tufertschwil in the canton of Saint-Gallen, Challerhocker is a twist on traditional Swiss cheese.
The recipe is based on Appenzeller, which Walter, as a second generation producer has many years of experience making.
Lb Pc Despite its similarities, Challerhocker differs considerably from Appenzeller due to changes in the recipe (the temperature the curd is cooked at, the fact that Walter chooses not to skim the fat off of the milk, and aging time). Unlike most producers in Switzerland, Walter likes to make his own rennet rather than relying strictly on the commercial type.
