How to use

A classic for Swiss Sbrinz and Glarner Schabziger cheese. Seasons bread, rolls, rye sourdough and Vinschgerl flatbread. Adds an accent to cream cheese, quark spreads and stews. Use sparingly, as the aroma is intense. For bread, add about half a teaspoon per 500 g of flour to the dough.

Important: Store dry, dark and well sealed so the aroma is preserved.
