Story: Appenzeller is another iteration of the classic gruyere, this one from the Eastern portion of Switzerland. There is documented history of the cheese going back 700 years. Today there are around 75 producers of the cheese, and each has a proprietary and secret recipie for the brine they use. The flavor is sweet and nutty with a fruity overtone and a faint swissy/sharp quality. Simply another slight variation on the basic Gruyere flavor profile.

Pairings: Baden whites, Chassles, Brown Ale, Spayside Single malts.
