Graukäsesuppe
Graukäsesuppe is a real piece of Tyrolean Alm cooking: from the lean, tangy Tiroler Graukäse – a sour milk cheese made from the skimmed milk left over from butter making – mountain farming families have been cooking a creamy, warming soup for generations. It tastes of the Alm, of handcraft and of honest cooking.
