STÄRNÄCHÄS NAMED WORLD’S BEST CHEESE

It is one of the largest cheese competitions in the world, alongside the World Cheese Awards and the World Cheese Championships in Wisconsin, USA. This cheese is aged for eight months, giving it a sweet flavor profile between Gruyère and an Appenzeller. Made by Swiss affineur Walo von Mühlenen and cheesemaker Marcel Gabriel, it also picked up the Interprofession du Gruyère Award for Best Swiss Cheese.
