About Sbrinz
Wikipedia Article About Sbrinz on Wikipedia

Sbrinz is a very hard cheese produced in central Switzerland. It is often used instead of Parmesan cheese in Swiss cuisine.

The cheese is produced in only 42 dairies in central Switzerland. Only local milk is used when producing this cheese. It is kept in the region until ready for consumption.

Contrary to popular belief, the name Sbrinz does not originally refer to a particular place or region. Nevertheless, the Swiss Cheese Union added to this myth by launching an advertising campaign in the 1990s. As a result of this campaign, there is now an area called Sbrinz.
