Professional production, packaging and dispatch of award-winning Swiss cheese and innovative cheese products worldwide. Passionate craftsmanship since 1868. NEW! GÜNTENSPERGER CHEESE For over 130 years, Güntensperger has stood for genuine cheesemaking craftsmanship from the Toggenburg region.

Güntensperger has three exclusive goat's cheeses on offer, from very mild, to unique, to connoisseur cheese - made from the best Toggenburg goat's milk THE GOAT CHEESES FROM GÜNTENSPERGER Güntensperger Käse AG has many years of experience making goat's cheese. Three cheeses have emerged, each unique, and something for every taste and preference. Our three goat's cheeses - Ziegenkönig, Geissblütenzauber and Toggenburger Ziege - are all made from the best Toggenburg goat's milk, where the goats have access to the best grass, herbs and terrain under animal-friendly conditions. Good milk makes good cheese.

Fine, crunchy salt crystals and aromatic flavour. A distinctly flavoursome goat's cheese for lovers and connoisseurs. A tribute to the local goats and a direct and sustainable support. MORE
