Rucker BACK Old Swede

Rucker BACK Old Swede develops its unique character during its maturing period of several weeks. Depending on the duration, it develops a mild or a spicy taste. In our cheese cellars in Wismar, the Alter Schwede breads lie on untreated spruce boards. Regular brushing with salt water and coating with red cultures gives the cheese its typically orange, edible rind and its incomparable taste.
