Urnäscher Hornkuhkäse

Urnäscher Hornkuhkäse is made using milk from horned Appenzeller cows. All milk suppliers to the Urnäscher dairy are proud keepers of horned cattle and take great care in looking after them. This is largely thanks to the living traditions of Appenzell. At the traditional alpine descent, known as the Öberefahre, horned cows are an essential part of the procession. You can’t actually taste the horns – but cows with horns are certainly more striking to look at. And we like that.

Urnäscher Hornkuhkäse is a cream cheese aged for six months. Thanks to its high fat content and extended maturation, it has a very creamy texture and a pleasantly tangy flavour. An ideal cheese for a cheese salad – or simply with a good piece of bread.

Produced in the picturesque pre-alpine region of the Appenzell, this cheese is unique yet pleasing to all fans of alpine style raw milk cheeses.
