Moses Sleeper is an approachable and nuanced soft-ripened cheese. Beneath its thin, bloomy rind lies a gooey, milky core showing a complex array of flavors at peak ripeness: cauliflower, crème fraîche, and toasted nuts. A bright, clean finish with a hint of white mushroom aroma follows the rich flavors of the paste. Moses is perfect for a festive cheese board or for baking en croute for an elegant dessert. At room temperature, this cheese is pliant and decadent without being runny. Seek out a farmhouse saison, country pâte, pickled carrots, and a crusty baguette to bring together a satisfying ploughman’s lunch.
Moser Cheese is produced at the BonCas dairy in Dotzigen, Switzerland, and is founded by Ueli Moser, who comes from a family of cheesemakers. His father was involved in making traditional Swiss hard and semi-hard cheeses, but Ueli's passion lies in producing soft cheeses. After completing his cheesemaking apprenticeship and spending time in France, where he developed a love for soft ripened cheeses, he established his dairy in 1999 focused on soft cheese innovation.
