Amadeus tasting profile
Deep Dive

A closer look

From Austria, Amadeus is a young cow's milk cheese aged for about four months. In that time, the paste sets into a pliable, semi-soft slab that yields easily under the knife, holding its shape on the board but bending soft against the tongue. The rind keeps the inside protected through the aging cellar, so the paste stays smooth and even, with a faint cream-line just under the surface. On the palate you get a clean buttery character first, the kind of mild lactic note that reads close to fresh cream. A quiet nutty whisper builds in the middle, pulled out of the slow four-month rest. The finish is short and tidy, fading without weight and leaving the palate clean for the next bite. This is a true table cheese, the kind built for everyday eating. Just because it's mild doesn't mean it's not flavorful.

The Tasting Notes

Texture

Semi-soft and supple, gives just slightly under the knife with a smooth, even paste.

Intensity

Gentle and mild on the palate with a soft buttery character and just a hint of nuttiness.

Finish

Short and clean, fading within a few seconds and leaving the palate ready for the next bite.

Lactic

Buttery, fresh-cream note runs through the paste, mild and easy on the tongue.

Nutty

A faint nutty whisper on the nose, more suggestion than full nut, pulled gently from the four-month aging.

Earthy

Clean and not earthy, no mushroom or barnyard pull.

Spicy

No piquant heat, gentle throughout.

The Pairing

What to pour. What to put alongside.

Amadeus stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.

Wine glass — The Sip
The Sip

Grüner Veltliner · Riesling · Pilsner · Sparkling rosé

  • Grüner Veltliner
  • Riesling
  • Pilsner
  • Sparkling rosé

The mild buttery profile invites lighter whites and a clean pilsner. Grüner Veltliner is a native Austrian match that echoes the cheese's gentle, slightly nutty character without overpowering it.

Soft orchard fruit and floral honey lift the buttery paste without competing. A touch of whole-grain mustard adds quiet contrast on a board or sandwich.

Like wine tasting, but for cheese

Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.

Excellent customer service on a shipped order

Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
