Baldauf Chilikase Cheese

Meet our newest cheese from our German friends, Baldauf Chilikase, a bold new addition that’s as visually striking as it is delicious. This semi-hard cheese, crafted from organic Alpine milk, is wrapped in a rich coat of organic chili flakes, creating a beautiful red rind that promises a touch of heat with every bite. After maturing for three months, the result is a cheese that’s slightly hot, mildly spicy, and packed with flavour and a slight pungency.

Whether melted as Raclette or enjoyed as a spicy snack, Baldauf Chilikase adds a dash of excitement to any cheese board.

Country of origin: Germany
Region, town: Allgau
Source of milk: Cow's Milk
Texture: Creamy mouth feel, yet firm and smooth
Flavour: Mildly spicy, slightly meatiness with a slight pungency

Serving suggestion: Delicious with a drizzle of honey to lower the heat, but fantastic melted as a raclette or simple enjoy as it is with some crusty baguette.

Wine Pairing: Perfect with an off-dry riesling, Gewurztraminer or dessert wine. Stay clear of reds! They will intensify the heat of the chilli.
