How to make Alpine Blossom Cheese
|
|
|
|
|
Alpine Blossom is a gorgeous-looking cheese with amazing flavour—rich, creamy and mellow flavour akin to a Gruyère-style cheese, with floral and herb aromas.
|
The cheese is dressed in organic edible flower petals including dried cornflowers, rose petals, calendula, lavender, and herbs, making it look as though it’s been sprinkled with confetti. The perfect celebration cheese!
|
To make Alpine Blossom you will need the following:
|
Ingredients;
Equipment;
Floral and Herb Mixture
- 2 Tbs Dried Red Rose Petals
- 2 Tbs Dried Calendula or Marigold Petals
- 2 Tbs Dried Lavender buds
- 2 Tbs Dried Blue Cornflower petals
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tsp Dried Marjoram
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
- 1 tsp Dried Onion Flakes
Note that the mixture can be varied if you can't get your hands on a specific ingredient for the floral and herb mixture. Use your imagination, as long as the petal is edible!
|
Process;
|
Follow the instructions in the video below to create this delicious floral cow's milk cheese! Alternatively, you can purchase our Alpine Blossom Recipe Card for the written recipe.
