Cheese from Austria, Vorarlberg, the Montafon valley
Montafoner Sura KeesSura Kees
Milk stands one to two days in wooden tubs so the cream rises for butter. The soured skim milk is warmed to no more than 40 °C, and the curd drains under its own weight in a cylindrical mould, then is rubbed with salt. It is eaten young after about a week, or ripened for weeks more until a glassy, greasy rind called the Muffa forms. Made in 7 steps over 37 days – 2.2 months. The longest step, ripen until the Muffa forms, takes 28–42 days (Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture (BML…) and runs at 18–20 °C (Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture (BML…). Lactic acid bacteria that sour the skim milk and Surface yeasts and bacteria that form the golden to red-brown smear and the Muffa rind do most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedTraditional process with no fixed recipe; each alp and farm dairy works a little differently. Cheeses are made as half-kilo blocks or 2 kg loaves. The alps turn about 725,000 kg of milk a year into Sura Kees.
Cow milk, filtered · Left to stand in wooden Brenten so the cream can be skimmed for butter; only the skim milk makes the cheese[bml-sura]
Paprika (optional) · Sometimes rubbed on with the salt[bml-sura]
No rennet · The curd is set by souring alone[bml-sura]
Starter: spontaneous souring of the skim milk in a wooden tub

What makes this one different
Sura Kees is set by souring alone, with no rennet, and made from skim milk left after butter making, so it has almost no fat. The government register notes that the Montafon kept this sour-milk method after most regions switched to rennet cheese in the 17th century.
Milk
Cow skim milk, a by-product of butter making
Fat
About 1 % fat in dry matter for valley cheese and up to 10 % for alp cheese
Season
Made on the alps from mid-June to mid-September and in valley farm dairies in winter
Alp Sura KeesMade in summer on the alps, with up to 10 % fat in dry matter.
Valley Sura KeesMade in winter in valley farm dairies, with about 1 % fat in dry matter.
Safety
Acid-curd cheeses with a smeared rind ripen from the outside in, so the surface needs clean handling; Listeria monocytogenes has been found in Austrian acid-curd cheese. Keep the cheese cold once ripe.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, found in Austrian acid-curd cheese (Quargel) in a 2009–2010 study of cheese lots.
The register cites the Celts as early cheesemakers in Vorarlberg and names the Käsker mould as their legacy. In the 17th century rennet cheese, which kept and travelled better, pushed out sour-milk cheese in most regions, but not in the Montafon. Alp dairies closed from the 1960s and the cheese declined until a revival in the early 1990s; a local marketing association has promoted it since 1997.
