We joined forces with one of New York City's most notable mixologists, John DeBarry to develop new cocktail pairings with our Kaltbach cave-aged cheeses. at an event held in the city this September. The results were nothing short of magical, so we asked John to write a guest post about how he paired cocktails with Kaltbach for the event.

Kaltbach Le Crémeux is one of our favorite new cheeses. Le Crèmeux is a smear-ripened cheese produced exclusively at the Emmi cheese facility in Emmen and then aged for 4-5 months in the Kaltbach Cave. The 22 million-year-old Kaltbach Cave provides a distinctive setting for the cheese to age and develops a unique flavor unlike anywhere else in the world.
