🧀 Grünländer
Grünländer is a German brand of sliced semi-hard cheese by Hochland, made from pasteurised milk and naturally lactose-free.
Grünländer is a German brand of semi-hard cheese (Schnittkäse) produced by Hochland Deutschland GmbH of Heimenkirch in the western Allgäu, Bavaria.
The classic Grünländer Mild & Nussig has 48% fat in dry matter. The ingredient list is short: pasteurised milk, microbial rennet, cheese cultures and salt, so the cheese is suitable for vegetarians. It is naturally free of lactose and gluten. The milk for Grünländer comes only from farms certified under the DLG-Tierwohl Gold animal welfare standard.
The range covers several flavours: Mild & Nussig (mild with a nutty note), the lighter Leicht, creamy Cremig, spicy Würzig, smoked Räucher and herb varieties. The cheese is sold in slices in resealable packs as well as in larger packs. Hauchfeiner Genuss offers very thin slices, while Käsewürfel are cubes for snacks and salads.
The brand owner Hochland is a family company that has been making cheese since 1927. Grünländer belongs to the semi-hard cheeses, like Gouda or Maasdam, but has its own mild taste without sharp notes.
How to use it: put the slices on bread, in sandwiches and toasties, serve them on a cheese board, and add the cubes to salads and bakes. Keep the cheese in the fridge in its closed pack.
