Knock Out! - Classical reimagined

Gwitterchäs®, one of our best-selling and multi-award-winning cheeses, is going on a journey. It has been repackaged and renamed for the North American market – but it hasn't been remade. Under the name Knock Out! we are bringing our original cheese with its typical creamy maturity and stormy, spicy character across the Atlantic – in a design reminiscent of the craft world: fresh, artisanal, confident.

A cream cheese with a high degree of maturity, fresh yet spicy, with a very distinctive character

Why Knock Out!?

The story behind this cheese reads like an adventure: During a violent thunderstorm, the power went out in our cheese dairy. In the rush, too much cream was accidentally added to the curd – actually a production error. But instead of throwing it away, we let it mature. The result blew us away: a cheese with an intense umami flavor, fine ripening crystals, and a velvety texture. The name was obvious: Knock Out!

Export quality with a Swiss soul

With a minimum maturation period of 210 days, 55% fat content, and produced using the finest craftsmanship in our family cheese dairy, Knock Out! is a prime example of affinage at the highest level. The recipe remains unchanged from Gwitterchäs® – only the appearance has been adapted for the English-speaking market. After all, Gwitterchäs® is neither pronounceable nor marketable in America. Knock Out!, on the other hand, hits the mark – or rather, right at the heart of the gourmet scene.

For trading partners with taste

Our rebranding experience enables us to tailor compelling Swiss cheese specialities to specific markets without losing the soul of the product. Knock Out! is the best example of this. And it won't be the only one: we work continuously with our customers to develop customized solutions – whether for new markets or fresh target groups.

Short & sweet: what makes Knock Out! so special

• Creamy cream cheese with a strong maturity

• Hard cheese based on cream (matured for at least 210 days)

• Intense umami flavor with fine crystals

• Swiss made – handcrafted by Güntensperger

• Ideal for the English-speaking market: taste, look, and story

Original name in Switzerland: Gwitterchäs®

Knock Out! is still available in its original form as Gwitterchäs®, including a certified organic version. Because no matter what the name is, what counts for us is what's inside the cheese: genuine quality, courage to be creative, and attention to detail.
