The influence of the [[Swiss people|Alemannic]] cuisine of neighbouring countries works more on Vorarlberg cuisine than Austrian cuisine. Cheese and other dairy products play a major role in traditional Vorarlberg meals. Typical dishes from the Vorarlberg region are: ''Käsespätzle'' or ''Käsknöpfle'' (noodles of flour and eggs with cheese and onion), ''Riebel'' (dish of corn and wheat semolina, served spicy or sweet), ''Flädlesuppe'' (broth with savoury pancake strips), ''Grumpara mit Käs'' (peel pastry with cheese), ''Öpfelküachle'' (apples baked in pancake dough, topped with sugar and cinnamon). ''Mostbröckle'' (pickled and smoked sausage), originally from [[Switzerland]], is also a very popular product.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.vorarlberg.travel/en/activity/recipes-from-vorarlberg/|title=Vorarlberg recipes|work=Urlaub in Vorarlberg|access-date=2018-08-13|language=en-US}}</ref>

==== Regional dairy products ====
* '''[[Bergkäse]]''' ("mountain cheese"). The texture of the Bergkäse is rather hard, sometimes with small holes or cracks, with a strong taste, which is sometimes nutty. In the strict sense, Bergkäse is a cheese produced in the low mountain range (between 600 and 1500&nbsp;m). Examples of Vorarlberg's Bergkäse are the [[Vorarlberger Bergkäse]] or ''Großwalsertaler Bergkäse'' named "Walserstolz".
* '''[[Alpkäse]]''' ("mountain pasture cheese" or "alp cheese"). Alpkäse is a hard cheese that resembles Bergkäse in taste and texture. The difference between these cheeses lies in the period and place of production. Bergkäse is produced year-round, so even in winter, when the animals are in the stables and fed with hay. Alpkäse is a seasonal product, only produced in the summer between May and September on high mountain meadows above 1500&nbsp;m (Alpine pastures or alps), where the animals graze Alpine herbs. An example is the ''Vorarlberger Alpkäse''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vorarlberger Alpkäse g.U. |url=https://info.bml.gv.at/themen/lebensmittel/trad-lebensmittel/kaese/vorarlb_alpkaese.html |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=Vorarlberger Alpkäse g.U. |language=de}}</ref>
* '''[[Sura Kees]]''' ("sour cheese"). Originally from the [[Montafon]] valley, Sura Kees has been known there since the 12th century and resembles the [[Tyrolean grey cheese]]. It is a low-fat cheese with a mild aroma reminiscent of cream cheese, its taste varies from mildly spicy to sour, always with a salty undertone. The Sura Kees is usually served with vinegar, oil and onions, or alone on black bread or eaten with potatoes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.vorarlberg.travel/en/activity/cheese-specialities-from-vorarlberg/|title=Cheese specialities from Vorarlberg – A mini study of cheeses|work=Urlaub in Vorarlberg|access-date=2018-08-13|language=en-US}}</ref>
