The people behind the cheese

Producer organisation

There are lots of people behind our famous cheese, all working together towards the same goal: to represent and balance the interests of milk producers, cheese manufacturers and trading companies within the consortium of Emmentaler Switzerland. Together, the producer organisation promotes traditional, faithful production according to the quality guidelines and values of Emmentaler AOP to ensure that this Swiss speciality cheese will continue to taste just as it always has.
«Emmentaler AOP cheese production supports Switzerland’s natural, eco-friendly agriculture and dairy farming.»
