witches cheese

Character & Flavor: Aurora Gold Hexenkäse is a seasonal cheese specialty made from Bioland milk, offered in time for Walpurgis Night. Enriched with carrot juice, woodruff, and pink pepper, this soft cheese aged for four weeks combines mild, creamy notes with a balanced blend of herbal and spicy aromas.The carrot juice gives the cheese its characteristic warm color, while woodruff provides a delicately balanced herbal note. Pink pepper complements the flavor profile with a mildly spicy and slightly aromatic note. The combination of ingredients results in a cheese with a distinctive character that fits particularly well into seasonal spring assortments. The label draws on the tradition of Walpurgis Night and depicts witches on their broomsticks on their way to a witches  gathering. In this way, Aurora Gold Witch Cheese combines regional folk themes with artisanal cheese-making. Milk & Processing High-quality Bioland milk is used for Aurora Gold Witch Cheese. Bioland agriculture stands for ecological farming, high standards in animal husbandry, and the responsible use of natural resources.The Aurora family cheese dairy has been processing exclusively organic milk since 1980. For production, the milk is pasteurized but not standardized. This preserves the milk s natural composition, including its natural fat content. The cheese is made with vegetarian rennet. After production, it is immersed in a sea salt brine bath for several days. This step promotes the formation of a natural rind and lays the foundation for the subsequent aging process. The cheeses are then aged on spruce wood boards and carefully tended during this time until they have developed their typical flavor and characteristic texture. After a maturation period of four weeks, the cheese is naturally lactose-free. Seasonal Variations: Since the milk used is not standardized, its natural properties are preserved. Seasonal changes in feed and grazing can affect the milk s fat content, flavor, and color. As a result, natural variations between individual batches are possible. These differences are a typical characteristic of artisanal cheeses made from non-standardized Bioland milk. The intensity of the natural color may also vary slightly within the range of characteristics typical for this product. Texture & Consistency Thanks to the four-week aging period, Aurora Gold Hexenkäse develops a smooth, easily sliceable consistency. The cheese remains pleasantly creamy, and its flavor is enhanced by the incorporated ingredients without losing its balanced structure. Aging on spruce wood boards supports the development of a harmonious texture and a balanced aroma.
