{"product_id":"bier-kase","title":"Bier Kase","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eDon't let the name fool you - while Bierkäse literally translates to \"beer cheese,\" there isn’t actually any beer in the recipe. This iconic German-style cheese earned its title through centuries of tradition as the ultimate companion to a cold pint. Today, it has found a second home in the heart of the Midwest, becoming a top-tier favorite among Wisconsin cheesemakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eWhat truly defines Bierkäse is its traditional production method. The cheese is crafted using a specialized smear to surface-ripen the wheel, a process that enhances its signature tangy flavor and creamy profile as it ages. Much like its cousin, Limburger, Bierkäse ripens for seven or more months in highly humid conditions, developing a boldly pungent aroma and a distinctly robust character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eSemi-soft, smooth, and pale white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eFull-bodied and earthy with a surprisingly mild, slightly tangy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e🍺 \u003cstrong\u003eSip\u003c\/strong\u003e: Demands a drink with equal personality—pair it with a crisp Lager or a glass of Merlot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e🥖 \u003cstrong\u003eChew\u003c\/strong\u003e: A staple for any authentic charcuterie board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e🍴 \u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e: The classic preparation - serve it on pumpernickel bread with a thin slice of red onion and a dollop of spicy mustard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommonly known as: \u003c\/strong\u003eBierkäse, Bierkaese, Beer Kaese, Beerkase, or Weisslacker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePronunciation\u003c\/strong\u003e: BEER-kay-suh or BEER-case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalet Cheese Co-op","offers":[{"title":"6oz","offer_id":51735698309351,"sku":"1026","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/2377\/3499\/files\/Chalet-Bierkase.png?v=1770655050","url":"https:\/\/www.wisconsincheesemart.com\/products\/bier-kase","provider":"Wisconsin Cheese Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
