The people behind the cheese

Producer organisation

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.»
