Experience a taste of Bavaria

Creamy and aromatic specialty cheeses

We believe that making exceptional cheeses starts with the very best milk. That’s why we source our milk close to home. Our cheeses are crafted in Bavaria, an alpine region in southern Germany with a heritage of dairy farming and cheese production. We source our milk from regional farms in the Allgäu, where cows feed on the green grass and alpine flowers all summer long. The result is in the taste of our extraordinary cheeses – creamy, flavorful, and delicious.

Maifest, Maibaum and Maibock!

German celebration of the spring’s arrival

Mayfest (Ger. Maifest) celebrates the arrival of spring and reawakening of nature after a long and dark winter season. It originates from a pagan tradition and takes place at night from April 30th to May 1st. During Mayfest German villages are decorated with flowers, bonfires are lighted, people are dancing, singing and drinking (mostly Maibock beer brewed especially for the occasion and Maibowle - a mix of champagne, white wine and sweet woodruff). The most important symbol of Mayfest is a so-called Maypole (Ger. Maibaum). It is a tall tree (without branches) with ribbons tied to it, a wreath on its top and sometimes it is carved with shields of local guilds as well. Mayfest is also widely celebrated in the USA, so don’t hesitate and join the upcoming festivities!
