Appenzeller is a traditional Swiss cheese known for its smooth, aromatic flavor and centuries-old craftsmanship. Made in the picturesque Appenzell region of northeastern Switzerland, this semi-hard cheese is crafted from raw cow’s milk and aged for a minimum of three months. What sets it apart is the unique herbal brine—often a secret blend of wine, cider, and local herbs—that’s regularly brushed onto the rind during aging, giving the cheese its signature savory, slightly spicy character.
With a pale yellow interior and a firm yet supple texture, Appenzeller has a balanced, slightly tangy flavor with nutty and herbal notes. It melts beautifully, making it ideal for fondue, gratins, or simply enjoyed with crusty bread and fruit. Whether you're new to Swiss cheeses or a seasoned turophile, Appenzeller offers a delicious taste of Alpine tradition.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
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.
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.
