Master cheese refiner
Johann „Hansi“ Baumgartner
Johann “Hansi” Baumgartner discovered his passion for cheese early on. During his career as a star chef, he began to let cheese ripen. Over the years, he perfected his methods. Now Hansi is considered a pioneer in this field. His unique flavour creations based on traditional methods of preservation are recognised as being innovative and trail blazing.
Red Delicious x Latemar
A combination that harmonises in terms of colour – and more. Both the aromatic Alpine cheese and the sweet apple have a cream-coloured glow when cut. What else turns the two components into well-matched companions? The interplay of flavours! The caramel and white chocolate notes of the cheese are perfectly rounded out by the vanilla aroma and acidity of the apple.
Fuji x Silentum
How about a gourmet foray into Asia? The delicious combination of Fuji and Silentum make it possible. The unique refinement technique involving fig leaves gives the goat cheese an extraordinary aroma of coconut, which is the perfect enhancement to the date flavour of the Fuji apple. When served as a fruit salad with figs and lime blossom honey, the look of this pairing is also extremely tasteful.
Golden Delicious x Golden Gel
The gold standard! Golden Gel, the blue cheese, and the exquisite apple Golden Delicious are a combination that melts on the tongue to create a sweet and tangy taste sensation. The earthy nuances of the cheese perfectly supplement the fruity flavours of the apple. Simply cut the apple in half, sprinkle with chopped walnuts and small cubes of the cheese and then lightly brown under a grill/in the oven.
Royal Gala x Candidum
How can you experience a genuine explosion of flavour? With this exciting pairing of creamy Candidum cheese and a crunchy Royal Gala apple! The juicy apples creates a pleasurable contrast to the fine texture of the Camembert. The unique cheese flavours of undergrowth and mushrooms are enhanced by the sweet aroma of the apple. Our tip: Warm the cheese in the oven before eating!
Granny Smith x Graukäse
Acidity is the focus of this combination. The traditional acid-set cheese impresses with its savoury, rustic flavour and finds a harmonious counterpart in the fresh grass aroma of the Granny Smith apple. This combination also evokes an exciting feeling in the mouth: the result of the crunchiness of the apple and the jelly-like consistency of the cheese.
Hansi’s favourite apple
One apple in particular caught Hansi’s eye: the Red Delicious. The master cheese refiner was immediately captivated by its elegant form, brilliant red Bordeaux colour and unique flavour. The subtle vanilla notes of the apple remind him of the art of creating desserts and adding an extra dimension to every bite.
Passion as a profession
An unforgettable combination. This is probably the best way to describe this pairing. Because the fruity Golden Delicious is perfectly rounded off by the savoury, mushroomy nuances of the blue cheese.
