50% FDM, soft cheese made of goat’s milk.
The “Silberziege” is made in the dairy Leitner with pasteurized pure goat’s milk. The cheese ripened in a silver mine for 6-8 weeks, 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 dark yellow to orange, the texture is elastic ranging from light soft to creamy with some isolated curd holes. Thanks to optimal climate conditions during ripening, this cheese is characterized by its refined flavor with a mild goat’s milk note.
