{"product_id":"rahmentaler","title":"Rahmtaler","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"464\"\u003eRahmtaler is a rare Swiss mountain cheese rooted in centuries of Alpine tradition. Inspired by the original Emmentaler recipe of the 16th century, it is produced by just three small dairies using fresh raw cow’s milk from pasture-grazed herds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"466\" data-end=\"734\"\u003eIn a traditional step that sets it apart, additional cream is added to the milk the evening before production. This simple yet important detail gives Rahmtaler its distinctive richness and supple texture — a fuller, more rounded expression of the classic Alpine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eThe young wheels are first matured in the Emmental before being carefully selected for extended ageing in the \u003cstrong data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"878\"\u003eReichenbach mountain bunkers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Deep within the Bernese Alps, natural cool temperatures and steady humidity provide ideal conditions for slow, even maturation. Each wheel is regularly washed and turned by hand over \u003cstrong data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e15 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the flavour to develop with balance and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eThe result is a cheese of remarkable harmony: smooth and velvety in texture, with gentle alpine aromatics and a rounded savoury depth. Notes of toasted hazelnut and warm butter give way to a clean, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003eNaturally formed “eyes” — created during maturation by propionic acid bacteria — punctuate the paste and are a hallmark of its traditional make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eExceptional melted, yet equally satisfying simply sliced and enjoyed with crusty bread, charcuterie or a glass of crisp white wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":55323194098049,"sku":"1780","price":11.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"500g","offer_id":55323194130817,"sku":"1780","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"750g","offer_id":55323194163585,"sku":"1780","price":33.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55323194196353,"sku":"1780","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Media_21.jpg?v=1772204994","url":"https:\/\/paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk\/products\/rahmentaler","provider":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
