Sennerei Andelsbuch Bergkäse Alt is a mature alpine cheese with a pronounced character, made from Heumilch sourced exclusively from hay-fed cows grazing on alpine pastures. During its extended aging period, it develops a complex aroma marked by nutty, dried-milk notes, subtle spicy nuances, and a well-balanced sharpness that clearly distinguishes it from younger mountain cheeses.
Its texture is firm yet not overly hard, with fine salt crystals that enhance both structure and depth of flavor. The cheese has a golden-yellow color and a compact but elastic body, reflecting long maturation and the influence of natural microflora.
It is rich and expressive, with pronounced umami notes and a long, persistent finish on the palate. Bergkäse Alt pairs well with dark bread and fruit, and it also works excellently as an ingredient in traditional Alpine dishes where a more intense cheese character is desired.
