Walserstolz is  a cow milk cheese from Austria. this cheese has been made for over 600 years in the Vorarlberg Alps in western Austria. The name is derived from the German "Walser" describing the people with German dialects living in the alps, and "Stolz" meaning proud. The cows used for production live on the lush alpine pastures and are fed the natural foliage of the area. The cheeses are then manufactured in the Grosse Walsertal Biosphere Park. This cheese is rich and nutty in flavor with grassy undertones. It is a firm cheese with a dense pate that is ivory colored and has a scattering of uneven eyes. Typical to alpine cheeses, Walserstolz is manufactured in wheels of approximately 70 pounds. There are three types of Walserstolz:

• Traditional: Aged 8 Months

• Spicy: aged 1 year

• Organic: Made using certified organic milk
