Scharfe Maxx is a Swiss hard cheese from the canton of Thurgau. It is a hard cows' milk cheese with a poignant taste that is made from thermized milk.[3] The literal translation of the "Scharfe Maxx" means "the sharp Maxx".

The cheese is produced in the Studer cheesery in Hatswil (Hefenhofen) in the canton of Thurgau close to the Lake Constance.[1] The cheesery is run by the Studer family in the third generation.[4]

The Scharfe Maxx tastes similar to an Appenzeller, but is creamier and more piquant. Similar to other Appenzeller cheeses, the Scharfe Maxx is made with thermized milk. [4]
