Schnebelhorn

A recent trip to the cheese store yielded three pretty awesome cheeses: l’Amuse Gouda, Brebirousse d’Argental, and Schnebelhorn.
Maybe sometime in the future I’ll do a review of the other two, but this is a post to shout out the amazing cheese that is Schnebelhorn!
It’s a Swiss alpine cheese made by Rolf Beeler (who also made Hoch Ybrig I believe). It has added cream and that note really shines through. It’s silky and complex, with plenty crunchy tyrosine crystals. It has a floral breath to it that remind of the alpine pastures, and a deep bone broth note that underpins everything. There’s also a complex spiciness that’s hard to figure out. It’s both cool and warm, with some notes being refreshing with others being like a spiced soup, comforting and hearty. The cheese also evolves on the palette, seamlessly shifting from creamy to savory to exciting and spicy before finishing on a beefy note.
All in all, a 10/10 cheese and y’all should definitely try it! It was also the first alpine I fell in love with as a newbie.
