What is Bonifaz?
A modern Bavarian cream cheese range infused with a variety of flavours — including garlic, wild mushrooms, chilli, and herbs. Made from high-quality Alpine cow’s milk, it is exceptionally soft, spreadable, and rich. While not a traditional protected cheese, it is a popular artisanal speciality from the Allgäu region.
Taste, aroma, and texture
Exceptionally soft, smooth, and highly spreadable, with a rich paste dotted with visible inclusions such as herb flakes or chilli pieces. Best served at room temperature.
Lactic notes lead, supported by a subtle earthy background. Fruity, herbal, animal, and smoky notes remain faint. The overall aromatic profile is primarily defined by the chosen flavouring — whether garlic, mushroom, chilli, or herbs.
