Alpkäse

Alpkäse is a type of cheese made with cow's milk in the Alpine region (Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany).

[3] The alpkäse cheese from Trentino Alto Adige is made from cow milk.

[4] In Austria, Alpkäse refers to a hard cheese that resembles Vorarlberger Bergkäse in taste and texture.

Bergkäse is produced in the low mountain range (between 600 and 1500 m) and year-round, so even in winter, when the animals are in the stables and fed with hay.

[5] The production of Alpkäse is closely tied to the traditional farming practice of Alpine transhumance.
