XXV Cheese Festival – Alles Käse, Kötschach-Mauthen, Austria
As the tradition implies, at the end of the summer, on the last weekend in September “Alles Käse” the corinthian cheese festival takes place in Kötschach-Mauthen. And this year it counts 25 years!
If you never had a traditionally produced Gailtaler Almkäse you should definitely not miss out on this event. Gustav says he heard there will also be a cheese queen. Well then…
While this might not be the event to travel around the world for, it definitely is worth it when in the area and in the mood for a hike. Up on Loosbühelalm located at almost 1.800m above sea level there will be the possibility to taste cheeses made directly on the alm and have a refreshing drink in midst the panoramic mountainous setting of Austria. We say – things could be worse ;))
We talked about all things cheese from production, selection and storage and also had a tasting of some austrian delights including some austrian raw milk cheeses by corinthian cheesemakers Nuart Vulgo Hafner.Last but not least: If you have a faible for cooking and know some german also check out Isoldes website *Küchenfreundin*
