– 760 Description
Tilsiter Red Label (in German ‘Tilsiter Rot’). The characteristic classic made from the finest, fresh Swiss milk. Matured up to 110 days.
Red Label Tilsiter Switzerland is one of the classics among Swiss semi-hard cheeses. Made from fresh milk, it is produced with great loving care and expertise by small, family-run enterprises in the cantons of Thurgau, St.Gallen and the Zurich Oberland. Every wheel is made by hand and carefully tended in the cheese cellars during the ripening period. The milk producers and the cheesemakers know each other personally. Thanks to the short transport distances involved, the raw milk is always fresh on arrival at the cheese dairies. The constant quality controls carried out from the time the milk is delivered until the cheese is ready to eat, guarantee your enjoyment of Tilsiter Switzerland.
Mild to medium in flavour, Red Label Tilsiter is a naturally versatile cheese, both in warm and cold cuisine.
How we wrap your cheese
The freshness of your cheese is our priority. That’s why — unless stated otherwise in the product description — we pack all cheeses in vacuum-sealed bags to protect them during their journey. We know some customers prefer the traditional touch of cheese paper wrap, so we’re happy to offer this option for a small fee, as it takes extra care and time to prepare.
Unless noted differently, all cheeses will generally have a best-before date of at least 14 days, and vacuum-packed cheeses around 2 months. Remember, with cheese this date is simply a guide — it doesn’t necessarily mean the cheese will be of lesser quality afterwards. In fact, many softer varieties reach their most delicious ripeness when enjoyed close to, or even just beyond, their best-before date.
How the cheese gets to you
At Alpine Express, we send all our cheeses in eco-friendly, insulated cardboard boxes, carefully cushioned with recycled packing paper and kept chilled with food-grade gel ice packs. We use the fastest service available — most often Star Track Express — so your cheese arrives in peak condition. You can check estimated delivery times using Star Track’s estimated transit time tool, though we may occasionally select another trusted courier to ensure the quickest, most reliable service.
Unless otherwise noted, we ship cheese boxes each Monday, with an order cut-off of 8 pm (Sydney time) the night before. As soon as your order is on its way, you’ll receive a tracking number so you can follow your cheese’s journey from our door to yours.
