Pure South Tyrol cheese pleasure – with a musical namesake to boot

Bandleader Norbert Rier and his popular folk music group Kastelruther Spatzen played “godfather” to this genuine South Tyrol-style cheese. Its rustic quality and age-old production method make Kastelruther Spatzen a particularly original specialty cheese; it is so satisfying because it is made according to a time-honoured recipe with fresh milk from the Alpe di Siusi, or Siusi Alps. Kastelruther Spatzen Cheese has a mildly aromatic and delicately spicy taste. After a lengthy ripening period of about 70 days, this intriguing table cheese displays a light, smooth curd with irregular, pea-sized eyes.
