Sbrinz

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Sbrinz is considered the "Father of Hard Cheeses." It first received its international legal protection for its making in 1957. This raw milk cheese comes in large 90-pound wheels and, while similar to Parmigiano Reggiano, Sbrinz is made with whole milk rather than skimmed milk. This gives this magnificent cheese a smoother, nuttier and deeper flavor. Sbrinz can age gracefully for eight years or more, giving the cheese an increasingly graceful and expansive flavor profile with a fine granular texture. Sbrinz is a marvelous pairing partner for Champagne, as well as many wines ranging from Chardonnay to Pinot Noir.
