- Sapsago cheese has been made in the Canton of Glarus, Switzerland, for at least 500 years and perhaps more; it is made also in Germany. It is known by various other names, including Schabziger, Glarnerkäse, Grünerkäse, Krauterkäse, and Grünerkrauterkäse.

- Both colour and flavour are added to Sapsago cheese from Switzerland or Germany. The powdered leaves of an aromatic clover are added to the ground-up ripened curd; this gives a mottled pale green colour and at the same time imparts a characteristic odour and flavour.
