Sapsago is a pale green gourmet cheese from the Canton of Glarus in Swizerland and is something of an acquired taste. It is made from skim milk and buttermilk and flavored with fenugreek and melilot, a wild clover which grows in the locality and gives the cheese its unique flavor. Many seek it out as a low-fat substitute for Parmigiano and Pecorino Romano.

The gourmet cheese is extremely hard and is made for grating. Sapsago has many names; Sap Sago, Schabziger and may even simply be referred to as 'green cheese'. It is pressed into small truncated cones of 3.2 ounces which we sell in pairs.
