Blending Tradition and Innovation -
Our Home in Bavaria

Nestled in the shadow of the Allgäu Alps in Southern Germany, our Headquarters in Lauben stands as a testament to over a century of cheesemaking excellence. Since 1908, our family-owned company has been rooted in this charming place, where time-honored craftsmanship meets forward-thinking innovation.

In Lauben generations of cheesemakers have honed their skills, transforming simple ingredients into extraordinary cheese specialities.
The tranquil surroundings inspire a dedication to quality and a passion for perfection that permeate every aspect of our work.

While our reach extends across continents, we are anchored in the region—its commitment to tradition, its embrace of innovation, and its unwavering pursuit of excellence—that continues to guide us. Here, in this picturesque setting, we craft specialty cheeses that not only delight palates worldwide but also tell a story of heritage, dedication, and love for the art of cheesemaking.

Traditional Blue Cheese

Our traditional Blue Cheeses are one of a kind and the perfect addition to your cheeseboard. A blue cheese is made with blue mold cultures. Once formed into a wheel, the cheese is pierced to bring oxygen in and allow the cultures to thrive and develop flavor.
When you cut into blue cheese, you will see green, blue, or gray mold, which is edible and will have stronger notes of blue.
