55% FDM, semi-hard cheese made of sheep’s milk.
The “Arzberger Aurum” is made in the dairy Leitner with pasteurized pure sheep’s milk. The cheese ripened in a silver mine for 4 months, is stored in 100 m deep in the mountain, embeded in millions of years old stones by constant 10 degrees, summer and winter. We wash the cheese with salt-water, turn the loafs and give it time for riping.
The undulating surface is medium brown and rustic undulating surface due to high humidity level in the mine. The interior is a creamy white texture with smooth structure ranging from soft to creamy and with some isolated curd holes. The taste is constant care confers to this red-smear cultivated cheese a mild and refined piquant taste.
