Twelve-tender mountain cheese, 200g

ÖMA Zwölfender is a cheese delight made from Naturland hay milk in absolute premium quality. This raw milk specialty is just like its animal role model, the stag with 12 ends on its antlers: strong, tangy and inimitable. Exceptional in taste and quality, every bite is reminiscent of fresh grass, aromatic hay and the 12 months of rest our cheesemaker has given it. For interested customers and cheese lovers, there is background information and stories about the cheese, the farmers and the dairy. Nestled in a small high valley close to the steep slopes of the Allgäu Alps lies the ÖMA dairy, the Sellthürner Käskuche. The traditional business was founded by farmers back in 1907. The entire farm was converted to organic farming in 1995. Today, the fresh hay milk is collected daily from the 6 Naturland farms within a 15 km radius of the dairy. Our cheesemaker Rudi Gmeiner - an absolute Allgäu original - processes the milk by hand and according to old tradition in a copper kettle to produce exceptionally tasty raw milk specialties. Three times a week, the wheels are turned and rubbed by hand with a mixture of red smear bacteria, salt and water, allowing them to develop their taste and form the typical rind.
