Güntensperger has a range of multi-award-winning cheeses. The passionate cheese-making over many years has been recognized with national and international awards. PRIZE-WINNING GÜNTENSPERGER CHEESE ALL OF OUR AWARDED CHEESES Güntensperger Käse AG now has a whole range of award-winning cheeses. Over the years and decades, a great deal of passion, dedication, hard work, time and the best Toggenburg milk has gone into the production, refinement and development of our cheeses. We are delighted that this commitment has been honoured several times with national and international awards. We have preserved and refined our family recipes, reinvented cheese and always striven for the best possible. We will continue to do so in the future. Here is an overview of all our award-winning cheeses and the associated prizes. FIRSTKÖNIG down-to-earth, buttery, full-flavoured World Cheese Awards 2021 – Silver The Firstkönig is an homage to the seven summits of the Churfirsten mountains in Toggenburg. Güntensperger values its surroundings and the naturalness of the Swiss Toggenburg. What would our cheese be without the unique milk from cows grazing on the lush pastures? The Firstkönig has a down-to-earth character, is mild and aromatic, buttery and full-bodied – characteristics that it has acquired during storage in our carefully maintained cheese cellars. For cheese connoisseurs of all ages. MORE GÜNTENSBERG classic, delicate, mildly flavoured World Cheese Awards 2023 - Gold As the name suggests, this cheese simply represents what we are. Classic cheese-making artistry, handed-down and refined recipes in a generational business, care and devotion from milk production, to cheese-making, to storage, to packaging and transport. A Güntensperger through and through. Made with lactic acid cultures we have cultured ourselves. Underneath the distinctive rind, the cheese is delicate and crumbly, with pronounced grooved crystals. The Güntensberger is characterised by a classic, excellent mild and spicy aroma. This cheese has everything you would expect from a good cheese. MORE GWITTERCHÄS creamy hard chees, full-flavoured, stormy World Cheese Awards 2024 - Gold World Cheese Awards 2023 - Gold Gwitterchäs is one of our best-selling cheeses. It is an exceptionally creamy hard cheese that sweeps over the palate like a stormy gust of flavour with its strong, spicy aroma and fine salt crystals. This cheese combines the Güntensperger's love of experimentation with the experience of generations of cheese makers. The cheese was created on a dark and stormy night in Toggenburg. No one can say for sure what exactly happened on that night, but the critics were easily won over by the cheese. MORE POTZ BLITZ Creamy semi-hard cheese, dark crust, savoury World Cheese Awards 2023 – Silver Potz Blitz is the younger sibling of Gwitterchäs and, like its big brother, immediately made it into the charts. Compared to the Gwitterchäs, the Potz Blitz is milder. It is an incredibly creamy semi-hard cheese that, despite its young age, already has a hearty spiciness. The Potz Blitz is particularly convincing as a breakfast cheese. The striking naturally coloured rind brings visual variety to the cheese platter. You can read more about the stormy history of its creation on our website. MORE RAUCHMUTSCHLI mild, smoky, unique Swiss Cheese Awards 2024 - Gold Swiss Cheese Awards 2022 - Gold The Rauchmutschli is an example of a successful experiment. While Güntensperger maintains traditional recipes and remains true to the traditions of the cheese-making trade, it is also our daring inventions that delight the palate. The Rauchmutschli is a mild Mutschli cheese with a unique smoky note in its rind. In this case, eating the rind is an essential part of the experience. Shortly after the Mutschli saw the light of day, it was awarded gold – smoky, dark gold. MORE ROTER TEUFEL creamy, nutty, spicy World Cheese Awards 2023 - Silver World Cheese Awards 2021 – Silver World Cheese Awards 2017 – Bronze International Cheese Awards 2017 – Recommendation: the best Swiss cheese What a dare devil. The Rote Teufel has become one of the great classics in the Güntensperger cheese assortment. Even though it never made it quite to the top, its award history shows how popular it is. The Red Devil is an exceptionally creamy hard cheese that literally melts in your mouth despite its age. With its slightly nutty flavour and strong, spicy aroma, it ignites a fabulous taste experience on the palate. MORE ROTER TEUFEL EXTRA distinctive flavour, matured for a long time, pronounced World Cheese Awards 2023 - Gold World Cheese Awards 2021 - Super Gold Käsiade 2021 - Gold World Cheese Awards 2017 - Gold International Cheese Awards 2017 - Gold Where the Roter Teufel has already won several prices, the Roter Teufel extra goes one better. Our cheese has indeed won the famous and infamous ‘Super Gold’ award, and nowhere else but at the World Cheese Awards. It has already won three gold medals – at some point it can no longer be a coincidence. The Roter Teufel extra has matured even longer than the Roter Teufel, has a strong flavour, pronounced ripening crystals, the nutty note typical of the devil and a cheese of striking purity. Simply devilishly good for connoisseurs. MORE SWISS LADY mild, light, delicatly flavoured Käsiade 2021 - Gold World Cheese Awards 2021 – Bronze Swiss Lady is a creamy, delicate cream cheese – a cheese for everyone. With its light and digestible character, the cheese is suitable for any occasion. Swiss Lady is also one of our classic sales products and is particularly appealing to those who find our more piquant cheeses too strong. Creamy and delicate, every bite melts on the tongue. A mild, delicately spicy note caresses the palate and leaves a lovely flavor in the finish. A pure, authentic taste experience down to the last bite. The cheese has also convinced cheese critics. MORE TOGENBURGER ZIEGE typical, spicy, balanced sweetness World Cheese Awards 2022 - Gold Käsiade 2021 – Bronze World Cheese Awards 2017 – Bronze The Toggenburg goat is one of our three goat's cheeses – a particularly playful goat, like the goats that provide the milk. This makes it very popular, as evidenced by the fact that it has won this award several times. It is traditionally made by hand in one of our cheese dairies. The finest goat's milk, careful production and professional storage result in a fine, very typical, spicy goat's cheese flavour and a delicate, balanced sweetness. We created the cheese specifically to promote the keeping of native goats, which is why we are particularly pleased about the awards. MORE TRÜFFELPERLE distinctive, truffly, intense and balanced World Cheese Awards 2024 – Bronze World Cheese Awards 2022 - Gold Käsiade 2021 - Gold The truffle pearl can rightly be called a very special cheese. Combining the distinctive and intense flavour of black truffles from Piedmont with the right type of cheese was not easy and took a lot of effort. The result, however, is all the more convincing. For two years in a row, the cheese has won gold awards, and regular sales at Güntensperger show its popularity. At the first bite, the intense and spicy nutty aroma fills the palate. Gradually, delicate notes of wood, moss and fresh mushrooms come to light. A high-calibre taste experience. MORE SCHNEBELHORN creamy and buttery, subtly tart, aromatic and spicy World Cheese Awards 2024 – Bronze World Cheese Awards 2023 - Gold The Schnebelhorn is a cheese with a high cream content that has been aged for a long time. This unusual method of production results in a unique taste experience. The bite is creamy, the nose is characterized by a subtle tart note, the palate is aromatic and spicy, and the whole is rounded off by an intense buttery flavor. Fine salt crystals are also a result of the special production process. The double consecutive award at the World Cheese Awards shows that Güntensperger has once again struck a chord with this successful experiment. MORE

Put into operation in 2017. Significantly larger ripening warehouse, new transhipment centre (packaging) for the worldwide shipping of our cheese products. Office and head office. Ripening warehouse, packaging, factory shop & office Lütisburg-Station In 2017, the new cheese ripening facility in Lütisburg-Station, with space for 57,000 wheels of cheese, was completed. As the Güntensperger cheese dairy had grown steadily in the past, the cheese ripening facility in Bütschwil, with its 17,000 spaces, had become far too small, necessitating more space. In 2017, the new cheese maturing warehouse in Lütisburg-Station with space for 57,000 wheels was completed. Since the Güntensperger cheese dairy had grown more and more in the past, the cheese maturing warehouse in Bütschwil with 17,000 places became too small, so more space was needed. In addition to the new maturing warehouse, space was also created for all packaging, which today serves as a transshipment point for all deliveries. The company office is also located on the upper floor, from where the company's finances are managed. Outside the building is the factory store, which is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Güntensperger works with small farms from the region on a long-term basis, with animal-friendly husbandry. The best milk for the best cheese. OUR DAIRY SUPPLIERS Our milk comes from over 120 farms in the Toggenburg region. All of them are committed to species-appropriate animal husbandry and respectful treatment of their animals. The farmers are an integral part of our value chain – not anonymous suppliers, but close partners. Many farms are small-scale and run with a great deal of personal commitment. This approach shapes the milk, and therefore the cheese. We process it fresh daily and consciously avoid pasteurization. This creates a flavor that doesn't hide its origin, but reveals it.

Professional production, packaging and dispatch of award-winning Swiss cheese and innovative cheese products worldwide. Passionate craftsmanship since 1868. GÜNTENSPERGER CHEESE For over 130 years, Güntensperger has stood for genuine cheesemaking craftsmanship from the Toggenburg region. What once began as a family business is now passionately continued by over 65 specialists – with the ambition to create cheese of exceptional quality. As producers and retailers, we manufacture and refine all our cheeses entirely in Toggenburg. We process fresh hay milk ("swissmilk green" standard) from small, regional farms every day. From the daily collection of the milk to production, ripening, packaging, and shipping, everything is handled in-house. This allows us to guarantee complete traceability, high quality, and maximum flexibility – from whole wheels of cheese to pre-packaged portions and even fondue sets. We combine tried and tested recipes with creative ideas to constantly develop new specialties – many of which have won awards in Switzerland and internationally. Whether for partners worldwide or for visitors to our factory shop – discover what makes our Toggenburg cheese so special.

Cheese Dairy Bütschwil Exactly 24 years to the day after taking over the Bodmen cheese dairy, Heinz Güntensperger bought the Bütschwil cheese dairy on May 1, 1999. However, this was only because he knew that he had a successor in Reto. Reto had already decided on an apprenticeship as a cheesemaker. In Bütschwil, the largest cheese dairy team produces up to 5 batches of cheese a day, 7 days a week. Gwitterchäs, Roter Teufel or our Appenzeller cheeses are all produced in the Bütschwil cheese dairy. Address: Bütschwil Cheese Dairy | Hofstrasse 9 | 9606 Bütschwil
