Alpkäse

Alpkase is an Italian cheese made with cow milk in Trentino Alto Adige.

The origin of this type of cheese is associated with the Alps located in Germany/Austria. Emmental in nature like its cousin the Swiss cheese, it is featured with tiny holes known as 'teardrops". Similar to the majority of hard/semi-hard cheese, the more it is matured, the more flavour it develops. The alpkase cheese from Trentino Alto Adige is made from cow milk. Some of those cheese varieties, exceeding 60 products, native to that place include, Asiago Antico Maso Rosso, Arunda, Asiago d'allevo, Asiago Mezzano cheese and Asiago Pressato Trentino cheese.
