History:
Alp Blossom cheese is produced by the Sennerei Huban dairy, located in Doren, Vorarlberg state, the first cheese school in Austria (birthplace of Austrian cheese culture).
In an environment with vast meadows and pastures, and next to the Alps, Alp Blossom cheese is made with milk from Swiss Brown cows and Braunvieh cows. These cows feed on the delicious meadows of Bregenzerwald with their valuable herbs in summer and the dry grass from these meadows in winter. These same flowers and herbs will be used to decorate the cheese.
