The Appenzell region of Switzerland is home to one of the country's greatest wheels, Appenzeller. Tangy, mature-flavored Appenzeller dates back some 700 years. While the ingredients are simple enough-fresh part-skim cow's milk, cheese culture salt and enzymes-the special care bestowed upon the wheels turns out a cheese with an amazing and memorable flavor. Weighing from 15 to 20 pounds, the wheels are taken to storage cellars soon after being made. There they are rubbed regularly with a mixture of water, white wine, salt and herbs. This addition to the recipe gives the cheese its special taste, making it great for snacks, appetizers and hot dishes. Appenzeller ages for over 90 days.
