Der Scharfe Maxx is a Swiss hard cheese from the canton of Thurgau. It is a hard cows‘ milk cheese with a pungent taste that is made from thermized milk. The literal translation of “Der Scharfe Maxx” means “the sharp Maxx”. It is classified as a Swiss-type or Alpine cheese.
The cheese is produced in the Studer cheesery in Hatswil (Hefenhofen) in the canton of Thurgau close to the Lake Constance.[1] The cheesery is run by the Studer family in the third generation.[3]
The Scharfe Maxx tastes similar to an Appenzeller, but is creamier. Similar to other Appenzeller cheeses, the Scharfe Maxx is made with thermized milk.[3]
