3 - 4 months aged and washed with a secret herbal brine

After several weeks of maturation, Fabian carefully washes the firm Ur-Kräuter rind with a secret herbal brine made from garden herbs, giving the cheese its unmistakable personality. The herbs are clearly visible on the exterior, while the interior surprises with a clean, nutty, and herbaceous flavour profile that has made this cheese famous far beyond Aargau and Switzerland.

"IM AARGAU SIND ZWÖI LIEBI"

And on Ur-Kräuter, the young woman gathers herbs

The cheeses from Fabian also tell a story visually. Inspired by the traditional Aargau folk song “Im Aargau sind zwöi Liebi” (“There Are Two Lovers in Aargau”), the unofficial anthem of the canton, Fabian Spielhofer redesigned the labels. The song tells the story of two lovers separated by war who ultimately find their way back to one another. Each cheese features one of the two protagonists on its label—on Ur-Kraüter, the young woman is shown gathering herbs.
