Bold & aromatic
Engadeiner
South Tyrolean mountain cheese · bold and aromatic
Beneath the firm natural rind, a dense, deep golden paste, closed and compact, with only the occasional fine eye. No herbs, no additions: the depth of flavour comes purely from long maturing.
Engadeiner is the bold variety from the Wolfhof: the same paste made from our own hay milk from Ritten, but matured for longer. More time on the board, more depth in the aroma: a mountain cheese with real character.
- Our own milk from Ritten
- Shaped and pressed by hand
- Natural maturing on wood
- A family farm for generations
The variety
Taste & character
A matured semi-hard cheese made from our own hay milk, with no added ingredients. Engadeiner is Natural given more time to mature: the paste becomes firmer, the aroma deeper and more intense.
- Taste
- Bold and aromatic, with a long finish. Savoury, slightly tangy notes of maturity over a nutty base, without ever tasting sharp or salty.
- Texture
- Firm and dense to the cut, with a closed, compact paste. As it matures further, small salt crystals occasionally form.
- What makes it special
- The boldest variety in the Wolfhof range, for anyone looking for a mountain cheese with real character. Excellent to close out a cheese board or shaved into thin curls.
