You are hot on the trail of the best-kept secret!
Cheese-making tools at hand, the aroma of the herbal brine in your nostrils, while you watch the cheese
being made: welcome to Appenzell’s Cheese Paradise.
Insights into the Cheese-maker’s Art
You can follow the manufacture of Appenzeller cheese from the visitors’ gallery, looking straight down into the 6,500-litre cheese vat where the milk is prepared and the cheese harp is drawn through the thickened jelly. The sight of 13,500 cheese wheels six metres below, where a robot takes care of them, is most impressive.
The film in several languages (German, English, French, Italian, Spanish) in the Dairy Cinema provides additional information. On request, trained hostesses will act as your guide and explain everything.
