Aarewasser

Jumi Aarewasser Swiss Cheese – 200g
A Rare Alpine Treasure Washed in Aare River Waters

Description:
From the renowned Jumi cheesemakers of Switzerland comes Aarewasser—an extraordinary semi-hard cheese with a bold, complex character. This artisanal rarity is carefully washed in the pristine waters of the Bernese Oberland's Aare River, a traditional technique that encourages the growth of a distinctive orange rind and develops its deep, savory-sweet flavor profile.

With a supple, slightly springy texture and aromas of browned butter, wild herbs, and a whisper of cellar-aged funk, each bite reveals why this cheese is a coveted specialty among Swiss connoisseurs. The natural brine washing creates a robust umami richness balanced by a lingering, nutty finish.

Key Highlights:
✔ River-Washed Rind – Bathed in Aare’s mineral-rich waters for a uniquely Swiss terroir
✔ Small-Batch Artisan Craft – Made by Jumi’s master affineurs using raw Alpine cow’s milk
✔ Flavor Journey – Starts creamy and mild, unfolding into savory depth with earthy notes
✔ 18-24 Month Aging – Matured in humid cellars to develop its signature complexity

Perfect Pairings:
◼ Drinks: Bernese amber ale, Pinot Noir, or kirsch
◼ Food: Shaved over Rösti, paired with pears & hazelnuts, or melted in a gourmet grilled cheese
◼ Presentation: Stunning on cheese boards with dark rye and air-dried meats

Storage: Keep refrigerated (4°C). Remove 30 minutes before serving to appreciate its full aroma.

(200g cut from whole wheel, wrapped in breathable cheese paper for optimal maturation.)

A true taste of Bernese Oberland’s liquid geology—where Alpine milk meets Aare’s ancient currents.
