How about I reference my "A Cook's Guide to Cheese" (ISBN 
0-7548-0026-1)? That's rather quaint and definitely not 
googling for it.
It highlights three cheeses:
Bergkäse - Region; Voralberg Massif. Closely resembling the 
Bavarian Bergkäse, this has a creamy, fudge-like flavor with a 
hint of hazelnuts. The holes in the paste are smaller than 
those in the German cheese and the cheese is matured for six 
months or longer.

Kugleskäse - Region; Danube. Added to local dishes for flavor 
and texture; also served solo with beer, this simple cheese is 
a local specialty. Once the fresh curd has formed -- and while 
still warm -- pepper, caraway seeds and paprika are added so 
that the curd becomes infused with the specific aromas and 
characters of each spice. The cheese is the rolled into balls, 
which aresalted and dried for weeks or even months.

Mondseer - Region; Salzberg. This cheese is firm, yet moist. 
One can grill it or eat it plain as a snack. It has a slightly 
spicy aroma and a sweet-sour taste. Although it's related to 
other washed-rind cheeses, it tends to be milder and 
significantly less pungent. It ripens in a bout two to three 
months and has a fat content of 45%.
