Cheese specialties
Stöckli cheese
Stöckli cheese is the best proof that old traditions and recipes are still popular today. The cheese wheel, which weighs around 8 kg, is something very special. It is made with a lot of skill and sensitivity over the open fire in the Stöckli, which dates back to 1741. After about 2 hours of pure manual work this exclusive speciality is created. The Stöckli cheese is available in 4-month and 8-month maturity.
Unforgettable experience: make your own Stöckli cheese.
Rugeli
Small but mighty! The Rugeli "nature", which weigh around 300g or 1 kg, receive a lot of care and attention during the 4-5 week ripening period.

Whey proteins are also very easy to digest. So, Ziger always goes! - natural, sweet or salty as you like. Tip: We especially recommend the popular birnel with it.
