Rich, melty, and made for sharing Mountaineer is a semi hard Alpine style Tomme. At once both sweet and savoury with a very aromatic rind and a rich creamy texture. Mountaineer is a full flavoured table cheese made in the style of traditional alpine cheeses of the French and Swiss Alps. Sparkling wines make an ideal pairing.
