For generations, the delicate Elderflower has been hand-picked throughout Northern Europe and used to flavor traditional desserts and liqueurs. Elderflower has recently grown in acclaim through use in cuisine by some of the world’s most renowned chefs, and popular cocktail liqueurs like St. Germain. Recognizing its growing appeal, and in celebration of the significance of the elderflower to the inhabitants of the Alsace region, family-owned Alsatian cheese maker Haxaire has begun infusing a traditional Alsatian cheese with the elderflower blossoms, creating a new springtime tradition. This semi-firm cow’s milk cheese is aged a minimum of four months and delivers a well-balanced floral flavor and subtly sweet notes of honey and vanilla.
