Like Emmental, Bergkäse is a typical hard cheese produced in the Allgäu region. Strong and robust on the outside, ÖMA Heumilch Bergkäse turns out to be a rich classic in taste. It is exceptionally tangy and the fine melt-in-the-mouth texture melts in the mouth. It is made from the purest hay milk from horned Demeter cows in our Leupolz cheese dairy. During the maturing process at 15°C, the mountain cheese is turned twice a week and rubbed (lubricated) with a light brine. For interested customers and cheese lovers, there is background information and stories about the cheese, the farmers and the dairy. Our ÖMA cheese dairy Leupolz, which was founded in 1960 as the cooperative 'Emmentaler Käserei Leupolz', is located in the middle of the Allgäu hills. Due to the increasing number of organic dairy farmers in the region, a second, separate production line was set up in 1986, on which only Demeter products are produced to this day. Master cheesemaker Pit Pfohl and his employees process 13,000 liters of fresh Demeter milk into butter, semi-hard and hard cheese every day. The most popular of these are the hard cheese classics Heumilch Emmentaler and Heumilch Bergkäse. The 22 Demeter farmers who supply the farms use biodynamic farming methods. This is characterized by diversity in cultivation and animal husbandry, the development of the farm as an individual, living organism, working to the rhythm of natural cycles and cosmic influences and the targeted use of biodynamic preparations.the horned dairy cows graze on the herb-rich Allgäu meadows in summer, while in winter they are fed exclusively dried hay and the farm's own grain meal.
Mountain cheese is an integral part of southern German cuisine, belongs on every cheese board and is used to gratinate hearty dishes. Diced, ÖMA Allgäuer Bergkäse is an excellent accompaniment to full-bodied red wines. You can find wine tips and recipes at www.oema.de
