Bregenzerwälder Alpkäse and BergkäseBregenzerwälder Alpkäse
These are the hard raw-milk cheeses of the Bregenzerwald, made from silage-free hay or alp milk in copper vats with calf rennet and each dairy's own whey or lactic culture. The part-skimmed milk is set, cut to pea size, cooked to about 51–52.5 °C, pressed and brined for two to three days. Wheels ripen for months at 12–15 °C, brushed with salt water, and are judged from six months to two years.

Milk comes from farms that feed no silage, is delivered at least once a day and is made into cheese on arrival, never moved between dairies. Alpkäse uses alp milk only, during the 3–4 month summer season.

These are the hard raw-milk cheeses of the Bregenzerwald, made from silage-free hay or alp milk in copper vats with calf rennet and each dairy's own whey or lactic culture. The part-skimmed milk is set, cut to pea size, cooked to about 51–52.5 °C, pressed and brined for two to three days. Wheels ripen for months at 12–15 °C, brushed with salt water, and are judged from six months to two years. Made in 8 steps over 3 days – 4 days. The longest step, brine, takes 2–3 days (BMLUK (Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture)). In the related Vorarlberger Bergkäse, the study's starter cultures were Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactococcus delbrueckii spp. lactis and Lactobacillus casei does most of the fermenting.
Bregenzerwald cheese comes from one of Europe's largest silage-free hay-milk regions and is made in small village and alp dairies with their own whey cultures. Alpkäse is made only in the summer alp season from alp milk, while Bergkäse may use either alp or valley milk.
Composition
Over 45% fat in dry matter

Brine bath of around 20% sodium chloride; rind brushed twice a week with brine of around 20% at pH around 5.25; ready to eat at 3 to 6 months at the earliest
Until the late 17th century only sour cheese from skimmed milk was made, and butter paid the taxes. After the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) herders from Appenzell brought fat-cheese making, and in the early 18th century farmers won out against bans on fat cheese. From 1816 Schwarzenberg was the main cheese market, and cheese went across the Habsburg lands to Italy and Greece.
