«Der freche Maxx»

«Der freche Maxx» is a fairly young cheese. Being young and cheeky, it wants to get out and about and not hang around. Because «Der freche Maxx» knows the time has come to live the culinary high life. It spends just three months in the maturation cellar before going out into the big wide world to make lots of new friends, thanks to its mild flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture. This is a cheese that unfolds a richness of flavors on your palate and proves to be ultra-smooth and delicately aromatic. «Der freche Maxx» is wild, yet utterly uncomplicated and good-natured – the perfect match for any meal.
