BUTTERKASE
Butterkäse by Roth Käse is a semi-soft, washed-curd cow's milk cheese produced in Wisconsin, USA, inspired by a mild German/Austrian style. Made with local, pasteurized, rBST-free milk and microbial (vegetarian) rennet, it is aged about one month to maintain a mild, buttery, and milky flavor with low acidity. It has a creamy, smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture with ~50% fat in dry matter. Spoilage is indicated by mold, slime, or sour odors. Ideal pairings include Chardonnay, Riesling, light reds, pilsner beer, cured meats, and fruits. The name means “butter cheese,” referring to texture, not content.
