5 4 reviews
Print Recipe
This Washed Rind Alpine Cheese recipe is based on an alpine style cheese, with its elastic texture, but with a lower level of moisture. This helps with a shorter aging time. It also incorporates both a washed curd, as well as a washed rind, that attribute to the desirable characteristics of this wonderful cheese.
