The Story

Reto Guentensperger is a third generation cheesemaker at his family's dairy, Kaserei Butschwil. When demand for their traditional Appenzeller cheese slowed, they turned their focus to other variants, including Guntensberg and Schnebelhorn. Using milk from high-altitude grazing cows, Guentensperger's dairy can produce 100 fifteen-pound cheeses per batch.

Usage Tips

Who's in the mood for fondue? If you can stand to melt it, mixing Schnebelhorn with a strong Gruyere will have you dipping and dunking veggies and bread until the fondue pot is empty. Enjoy with a spicy white wine.
