Hempire

Hempire – the trendy one. Swiss pressed cheese made from raw cow’s milk from the Appenzell region. Min. 70 days maturation. How can we keep a cultural heritage youthful with a special creation? Koch provides this very special creation with a milky and mildly aromatic flavour, that captivates all the senses and offers a new taste experience. This is obtained thanks to the blend of hemp leaves and hemp nuts used for the ripening. Hempire is one more creation which sets new standards in terms of taste and gives an existing trend a completely new look. You can enjoy it cold on a cheese platter, but it’s also great in a dish with melted cheese like raclette, which magnifies the flavour of the combination of cheese and hemp. This cheese belongs to the ‘Haute-Couleur’ collection which certainly lies very close to Haute Couture. It is inspired by the world of colours and their effect on us all. Nature provides us with an unparalleled source of inspiration through its perfectionism, diversity, and endless combinations. The products impress with their visual appeal and unique interplay of aromas. They offer familiar colours and taste combinations that perfectly unite contrasts, providing an unprecedented taste experience. The Koch cheese dairy is a typical family business from the Appenzell region that has been specialising in cheese for over 50 years. The current successor, Kevin Koch, Swiss cosmopolitan & innovative cheese designer, is revolutionising the cheese-making industry with his original creations and new ideas. When a wheel of cheese bears his ‘label’, it is proof of excellent quality. Handmade Swiss premium products, which he creates from the combination of tradition and modernity and which he then offers as ‘Tailor-Made Cheese’.
