Appenzeller Schaukaserei

About

You are hot on the trail of the best-kept secret! Cheese-making tools at hand, the aroma of the herbal blend 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 12'500 cheese wheels six metres below, where a robot takes care of them, is most impressive. The film in several languages in the Dairy Cinema provides additional information. On request, trained hostesses will act as your guide and explain everything.
