Savoury & lightly sweet
Fenugreek
South Tyrolean mountain cheese · savoury and lightly sweet
Beneath the natural rind, a supple, pale paste, finely and evenly speckled with small brownish fenugreek seeds, no coarse pieces, only the occasional fine eye.
Fenugreek is the herb-flecked variety from the Wolfhof: the same mild paste made from our own hay milk from Ritten, finished with ground fenugreek. It gives the cheese the warm, lightly sweet note familiar from South Tyrol's Vinschgau rye bread.

The variety
Taste & character
A mild semi-hard cheese made from our own hay milk, finished with fenugreek. Natural is the base: the ground fenugreek is worked into the curd and runs evenly through the whole wheel.
- Taste
- Mild and milky, with fenugreek's typically warm note somewhere between hay and nuts, and a light sweetness in the finish. Savoury, but never sharp.
- Texture
- Supple and firm to the cut, with a closed paste. The fine fenugreek seeds are visible but barely noticeable to the bite.
- What makes it special
- The herb-flecked variety with a South Tyrolean connection: fenugreek has long seasoned Vinschgau's traditional Paarlbrot too. A fine companion to hearty bread and speck.
