WHAT DOES SAPSAGO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sapsago

Schabziger

Schabziger or sapsago is traditional cheese exclusively produced in the Canton of Glarus in Switzerland. Schabziger is made out of the skimmed cow milk and a special kind of herb, blue fenugreek, also called blue melilot. The milk and melilot sap are heated to 90°F or 32°C then an acid is added causing curdling. The whey and curd are separated. The whey is further curdled at 90°C and separated. The whey-condensate is called Ziger and is pressed into cones for 6 to 8 days. The cones are then dried for 2 to 6 months. The resulting cheese is hard, green with a strong flavor and aroma. It is usually conditioned as cones of 100 g with a height of 5 cm. It contains less than 3% fat. Schabziger is usually eaten grated, or mixed with butter to make an herb spread that is put on bread or sandwiches. It can also be used in fondue, or grated and eaten with noodles or rösti. A cone of Schabziger can be conserved for weeks in the fridge. Schabziger was first manufactured by the monks in Glarus, in the 8th century. The exact specification on how to make this cheese was laid down during a Landsgemeinde in 1463.
