#62 Hoch Ybrig

The cheese was much easier on the tongue than my efforts to pronounce its name. Hoch Ybrig, sounds like something uttered by a drunken Scottish soccer fan passed out under the table of a Glasgow pub.
But it aint. It's a Swiss cows' milk aged cheese made since the 1980s and exported by Swiss Affineur, Rolf Beeler.
Hoch Ybrig is washed in a brine that includes white wine and aged between 8 & 12 months.
It has an earthy brown rind and is very dry with a nutty, caramel flavour.
This was purchased by a workmate with damn fine taste from the Spring Street Grocer's cheese cellar.
Is cheese is good
