Set up as a co-operative by local farmers in 1902, the village Alpine dairy has been a family-owned concern since 1936. Based on many years of experience and recipes handed down through the generations, it produces raw milk cheeses, Emmental, Bergkäse (mountain cheese), Bierkäse (beer cheese), Rotweinkäse (red wine cheese) and Bad Wurzach Moorkäse (moor cheese). The whole process from the supply of the raw milk by local farmers through to putting the milk in rennet and pouring it into the cheese moulds is clearly explained. On a guided tour visitors can also find out why the cheese is given a salt bath or what happens in the maturing cellar.
