Ch\u00e4llerhocker<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>|hah-luh_r\/hok-er|<\/p>\n

Kaserei Tufertschwill\u2019s <\/span>Ch\u00e4llerhocker<\/span><\/a>, which roughly translates to \u201csitting in a cellar\u201d, owes its depth and complexity to exactly that: This cow\u2019s milk wheel ages in a cellar for 10 months, during which it\u2019s also regularly washed in brine. The resulting slightly tacky rind smells of caramel, roasted peanuts, and aging meat, while the firm paste tastes of brown butter and melted leeks with a salted caramel finish. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the Appenzeller in Switzerland, the region\u2019s namesake cheese reigns supreme\u2014but Walter R\u00e4ss<\/a>, originally an <\/span>Appenzeller<\/span><\/a> maker, put his imagination to work when dreaming up Ch\u00e4llerhocker. Crafting his own rennet, tweaking cooking temperature and aging time, and adding a boost of creaminess, R\u00e4ss has created an original Alpine-style wheel with stunning flavor complexity. And thanks to a local artist in Tufertschwil who unintentionally created a <\/span>slightly creepy label,<\/span><\/a> wheels of Ch\u00e4llerhocker are immediately recognizable. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bring forward those malty notes by pairing Ch\u00e4llerhocker with fortified wines like Sherry or Madeira; a sesame <\/span>shochu<\/span><\/a> is especially nice if you can find it. Most flavorful at room temperature, it makes for a tempting table cheese. If indulgence is what you\u2019re after, melt into mac and cheese or sub it for cheddar in a root vegetable <\/span>gratin<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
