Description
The Swiss have a long-standing reputation for crafting exceptional semi-hard cheeses. This Alpine Express cheese box serves as an introductory showcase of three of the most renowned Swiss cheeses. All three cheeses are protected origin cheeses, ensuring authenticity. In this selection, you’ll be delighted to discover a variety of these delectable cheeses:
- Swiss Emmental AOP Classic, 6-months matured, raw milk, ca. 200g
- Swiss Gruyère AOP Classic, 6-months matured, raw milk, ca. 200g
- Swiss Appenzeller Classic ‘Mildly Spicy’ 4 to 5-months matured, ca. 200g
Please note that the Appenzeller cheese in this pack varies occasionally due to availability. The options are the Appenzeller Cream or the Appenzeller Classic. The cheese we are currently supplying is mentioned above.
Beverage matching ideas
Being a Swiss Classics cheese board, we suggest pairing these cheeses with beverages that the Swiss would enjoy. Consider an earthy yet crisp Chardonnay or a lighter red wine like a Pinot Noir. A refreshing local Lager beer also complements this cheese board excellently.
How we wrap your cheese
Freshness of your cheese is important to us. That’s why – unless noted differently in the description – we package all of our cheese in vacuum bags to help minimize travel impacts. However, we understand that some of you prefer cheese being wrapped in cheese wrap. This option is available to you for a small fee (it takes more time to package the cheese this way, that’s why we charge you a little bit more). Unless specifically noted in the description, all cheese will generally have a best before date of at least 14 days, vacuum packed cheese generally about 2 months. Please note that with cheese this is often only a guidance date and does not necessarily mean the cheese will be of lesser quality beyond that date. In fact many soft(er) cheeses are best kept close to or until after that date for maximum ripeness.
How the cheese gets to you
All Alpine Express cheese are shipped in environmentally friendlier, insulated cardboard boxes. The cheese is bolstered with recycled packing paper & kept cold with food grade ice gel pack(s). It is shipped the fastest possible service, usually Australia Post Express. See Australia Post’s Express Delivery Estimator (origin is ‘Brisbane Metro’). From time to time we may choose a different shipping provider depending on speed of service, costs and other factors.
Unless noted otherwise, all cheese boxes are sent on Mondays with an order cut-off time at 8pm (Sydney time) that day before. You will receive a tracking number to follow your parcel’s progress.

We hopped in with a nice crisp glass of white wine and had to make our selfs hold back a little as the cheeses were so moreish! This cheese box ( Swiss Classics) is a great introduction to the joys of Swiss Cheese.
