The unique herbs of the mountain meadows and alpine pastures give the Biosphere mountain cheese its typical mountain cheese flavour – slightly piquant without being sharp.

The popular “Entlebucher Beer” has inspired us to create this aromatic, slightly piquant mountain cheese. For cheese care, we use the regional beer, and shortly before maturation, the cheese is wrapped in spent grain from Entlebucher Beer. This makes the Hopfenbergkäse® an exclusive cheese speciality, both visually and in taste.

The magic of the forest melts on the tongue with this enchanting combination of mildly spiced cheese and subtle spruce flavour, shining in the cheese counter like a proud mountain spruce.

Full cream Raw milk cheese made in the Toggenburg
(Pronunciation: TAH-gen-boor-ger coo-ELL-ee)
Toggenburger Chueli is a wonderfully approachable full cream, raw cow’s milk cheese that appeals to a broad range of palates. It’s easily recognised by the charming cow imprints circling the golden-brown rind. The flavour is rounded and nutty, with a savoury finish that gives it a distinctive character. Its texture is semi-hard with a pleasing creaminess.
The name means “the little cow from Toggenburg”, referring to the picturesque rural region in northeastern Switzerland, renowned for its rolling green hills and agricultural tradition.
Crafted with carefully selected milk under the strict supervision of the cheesemaker, Toggenburger Chueli matures in cellar conditions maintained precisely at 14°C. It reaches its young stage at around 5 months and fully matures by 6 months. With its small, pea-sized holes and unique flavour, this cheese is perfect both as a semi-hard table cheese or enjoyed as a dessert cheese.

Tête de Moine, Swiss raw milk cheese with a long tradition. The Tête de Moine was invented and initially produced more than eight centuries ago by the monks of the abbey of Bellelay, located in the community of Saicourt, district of Moutier, in the mountainous zone of the Bernese Jura, the French-speaking area of the Canton of Bern.
Traditionally, the cheese is prepared for eating in an unusual way: the cheese loaf is carefully scraped with a knife to produce thin shavings, which is said to help develop scented flavours by allowing oxygen to reach more of the surface. Tête de Moine, literally as “Monk’s Head”. The name was first documented in the records of Mont-Terrible, a Department established by the French when they annexed the region from 1793 to 1799 at the time of the French Revolution.
Writings from 1292 attest that the cheese of the abbots of Bellelay had acquired such a reputation that it was used to pay the royalties of the stockbreeders to the farms’ owners, to regulate litigations, being offered as presents to the prince-bishops of Basel, or even as currency. It is made from raw cow’s milk and is characterized by a cylindrical form. It is excellent with dry white wine, after being matured for a minimum of 2½ months on small spruce plank.

Urnäscher Hornkuhkäse is made using milk from horned Appenzeller cows. All milk suppliers to the Urnäscher dairy are proud keepers of horned cattle and take great care in looking after them. This is largely thanks to the living traditions of Appenzell. At the traditional alpine descent, known as the Öberefahre, horned cows are an essential part of the procession. You can’t actually taste the horns – but cows with horns are certainly more striking to look at. And we like that.
Urnäscher Hornkuhkäse is a cream cheese aged for six months. Thanks to its high fat content and extended maturation, it has a very creamy texture and a pleasantly tangy flavour. An ideal cheese for a cheese salad – or simply with a good piece of bread.
Produced in the picturesque pre-alpine region of the Appenzell, this cheese is unique yet pleasing to all fans of alpine style raw milk cheeses.

Gruyère has its origin right in the heart of the foothills of the Fribourg Alps. It is undeniably one of the most influential Swiss cheeses with its history dates back to the pre-Roman era.
This particular Gruyère has been fully matured over 18 months and enjoys an aromatic-fruity flavour with a savoury, salty base. It’s simply a Rolf Beeler master cheese.
