A charming, traditional wooden house with flower-decorated windows and neatly stacked wood. The rustic cosiness, combined with sunny nature, radiates rural idyll, hospitality and originality.
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! 🧀

In addition to four former cheese dairies, there’s much more to discover at the Emmentaler show dairy. On the Königsweg, an indoor experience for the whole family, visitors can explore fascinating insights into the production and history of Emmentaler AOP.

Explore the fascinating world of the Emmentaler AOP, the "king of cheeses". A helpful tip: The public cream cheese workshop is held daily at 2 p.m. At 4 p.m. you can watch how a wheel of Emmentaler AOP is lifted by hand from the large vat in the production plant – the same way it has been done for centuries. The process requires a large cloth and a lot of muscle power.
