DER SCHARFE MAXX

The feisty bull on the label is true to its name. Though mild at first taste, this washed-rind, semi-soft cheese packs a beefy pungency and a bold, nutty bite that cheese fans desire. Its sharp finish offers a hint of barnyard from the locally produced raw milk. The addition of cream during the make process offers a rich silkiness that balances and mellows the savory notes of sautéed onion, beef broth, and sweet funk, which develop during its careful curing in the cellars.
