Sweetly Aromatic. Barbecue Notes. Ur-Kräuter’s Cheeky Brother.
Gewürztaler is the slightly more playful sibling of Ur-Kräuter. Mildly sweet, herbaceous, and carrying subtle warm and piquant notes, it brings plenty of character to any cheese board.

"IM AARGAU SIND ZWÖI LIEBI"
When love prevails, spices take flight
The Aargau folk song “Im Aargau sind zwöi Liebi” tells the story of two lovers separated by war. Unlike most tales of this kind, however, it ends happily: the couple reunites. A fitting reason for the female protagonist on the Gewürztaler label to be juggling the spices that give this cheese its sweet and warm piquant character.
