Emmi
| Appenzeller® White Label is a Swiss Alpine semi-hard, smear-ripened cheese characterized by raw, silage-free milk enriched with cream to achieve a minimum 55% Fat in Dry Matter, contrasting with 48-50% in standard Appenzeller. Produced in the Appenzell pre-alpine region by decentralized village dairies and matured for 3-4 months, its unique Kräutersulz herbal brine imparts a mild, creamy, and aromatic profile. The high fat content softens texture, enhances flavor retention, and moderates acidity, positioning the White Label as an accessible, meltable cheese favored by Emmi for global markets, bridging traditional Appenzeller complexity with approachability. | |
