Die Wilde Hilde

Description

Introducing Die Wilde Hilde, a delightful cheese inspired by an enchanting cow named Hilde, known for her spirited personality. While she may have been a bit unruly, the quality of milk she produced was exceptional.

Crafted in the picturesque village of Waengi, nestled in eastern Switzerland, Die Wilde Hilde is surrounded by the serene beauty of the countryside, yet conveniently close to the cities of Winterthur, Frauenfeld, and Wil.

This cheese undergoes a maturation process of approximately six months, developing a harmonious balance of mild to medium meaty flavours. Its creamy and smooth texture is complemented by a lingering, subtly sweet finish, characteristic of Switzerland’s renowned raw milk cheeses. Enjoy Die Wilde Hilde as a versatile addition to cheese boards, paired with fruits and nuts, or simply savoured on its own.

This cheese is made with non-animal rennet (microbial rennet), therefore suitable for vegetarians.

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.
