Bloderchäs: sour but good

Schlorziflade, Haselbeizonne, Fenz: quirkily named dishes and foodstuffs are one of the hallmarks of Eastern Switzerland. Another such is Bloderchäs: a low-fat cheese made in the regions of Toggenburg, Werdenberg and Liechtenstein from curdled milk ("Blodermilch" in the local dialect) without the addition of rennet. It goes well with local Rhine valley corn, Knöpfli (cheese dumplings) or potatoes.
