Our cheese is produced from pure milk without artificial additives, according to traditional Swiss cheesemaking principles. It is then looked after in undisturbed conditions in our storage facility until it reaches optimal maturity.

After a short trip to the mountain dairy, our milk is transformed into a little piece of Switzerland. We use sustainable wood to produce heat energy. Simmental Switzerland creates attractive jobs in the mountain region, both directly and indirectly.

The Diemtigtal nature park dairy will be a modern, high-performance cheesemaking facility with an integrated milk processing plant. The Burgholz Heating Network will provide the necessary heat energy. The majority of our energy needs are served by wood from the local region, which allows us to make a significant contribution to the sustainable utilization of the surrounding mountain forests. As we purchase 100% of the used electricity from regional hydropower plant we produce fully fossil free! Naturally excellent.
