点评:One of the highlights of our stay in Appenzell was visiting the Appenzeller Schaukäserei, and it turned out to be both enjoyable and surprisingly educational. Admission was free with the Appenzeller Holiday Card, making it even better value.
The visit began with a tasting of five different Appenzeller cheeses, served in order of increasing flavour intensity: mildly spicy, strongly spicy, organic strongly spicy, extra spicy, and premium spicy. It was a great way to appreciate how the flavour develops with age. My personal favourites were the strongly spicy and extra spicy varieties, which had a rich, well-balanced taste without being overwhelming. The premium spicy was a little too intense for my palate, but it was still interesting to try.
The self-guided tour does an excellent job explaining the cheese-making process. If you’ve visited the Gruyère cheese factory before, you’ll notice many similarities in production, but Appenzeller has its own unique identity. The most memorable part was the interactive station where visitors can create their own blend of herbs, giving a fascinating insight into the famous herbal brine that makes Appenzeller cheese so distinctive.
The souvenir shop is well worth a visit too, offering an excellent range of cheeses, local products, and gifts at very reasonable prices. What really made the experience stand out, however, was the genuinely warm and friendly staff, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
Whether you’re a dedicated cheese enthusiast or simply looking for an enjoyable indoor activity in Appenzell, I would highly recommend adding the Appenzeller Schaukäserei to your itinerary.
翻译:我们在阿彭策尔逗留期间的亮点之一,就是参观阿彭策尔奶酪展示中心。这次参观不仅有趣,还让我们学到了不少知识。凭借阿彭策尔度假卡即可免费入园,性价比极高。
参观伊始,我们品尝了五种不同的阿彭策尔奶酪。这些奶酪是按照风味强度递增的顺序呈上的:微辣、重辣、有机重辣、特辣以及顶级辣味奶酪。这是一种很好地体验奶酪风味随时间如何变化的方式。我个人最喜欢的是辣味浓郁和超辣两种款式,它们的味道丰富且平衡,并不会让人觉得过于刺激。至于“特制辣味”款,对我来说辣度稍微有点高,但尝试一下也挺有趣的。
这个自助导览流程很好地讲解了奶酪的制作过程。如果你以前参观过格律耶尔奶酪工厂,就会发现两者的制作流程有很多相似之处。不过,阿彭策尔奶酪有着自己独特的特色。最令人难忘的环节要数互动体验区——游客可以在那里调配出属于自己的香草混合料,从而深入了解那种让阿彭策尔奶酪独具风味的著名香草卤汁。
纪念品商店也绝对值得一逛,那里有种类丰富的奶酪、当地特产以及各种礼品,价格也相当实惠。而真正让这次体验出彩的,则是那些热情友好、真诚待人的工作人员。从我们抵达的那一刻起,他们就让我们感受到了家一般的温暖。
无论你是奶酪爱好者,还是只是在阿彭策尔寻找一项有趣的室内活动,我强烈建议把阿彭策尔奶酪展示馆列入你的行程计划中。
