Inviting restaurant with large windows offering a breathtaking view of green hills. Sunlight floods the room, emphasising the warmth and elegant table decorations.
The picture shows the cheese cellar of the Emmental show dairy - an impressive room with long rows of shelves full of maturing cheeses. The evenly stacked cheeses give the picture an almost symmetrical effect of depth. The subdued lighting and the warm, golden light emphasise the characteristic colour of the cheese. Such cheese cellars are essential for the traditional maturing of Emmental, where temperature and humidity are precisely controlled to develop the unique flavour and texture. A paradise for cheese lovers! 🧀

DIY Cheese Making – "Stöckli" Cheese

A "Stöckli" (small swiss cottage) from the year 1741, 200 litres of fresh milk, you and a cheesemaker. With "Stöcklikäsen", you make two wheels of delicious Stöcklikäse cheese with your bare hands - but that's not all. After four months of maturing, your home-made traditional product will arrive in your letterbox.
