KALTBACH™

Welcome to our line of Kaltbach™ Cave-aged cheeses. The legendary Kaltbach Cave is home to some of the world’s most distinctive Emmi cheeses.

Kaltbach™ cheeses are carefully crafted in the deep, cool Kaltbach Cave located in the Alpine Valley of Switzerland. The Kaltbach Cave is a 22 million-year-old natural sandstone labyrinth with a small tranquil river running through. In fact, Kaltbach is a German word that translates to “cold brook". The natural brook inside the cave allows for a constant humidity of 96 percent in the mineral-rich cave air. This natural process regulates the humidity, which is a crucial part of the texture and flavor development and what makes this cheese unlike any other in the world.

That's why each Kaltbach™ cheese is distinctive, unique and unforgettable.

KALTBACH™ LE GRUYÈRE® AOP

KALTBACH™ LE GRUYÈRE® AOP

  • Aged a minimum of 1 year
  • Raw cow's milk
  • Animal rennet

Kaltbach™ Le Gruyère® AOP matures peacefully under the watchful care of the Kaltbach Master Affineur in the cave. The mineral-rich air creates the perfect environment for transforming specially selected Le Gruyère wheels into wondrous depths of flavor. Each wheel is recognized instantly by the color of its rind – an unmistakable rustic brown patina – and its flavors of dried stone fruit, spice, black tea and hazelnuts with an earthy depth to captivate your taste buds. The texture is smooth with a slight flake and pronounced crystal crunch.
