Professional ripening storage is an essential part of the development of our exquisite cheese cheeses. As Güntensperger expands, so does our need for storage. We have now opened a new qualitatively and technologically advanced warehouse in Kirchberg - it is already in active use.
The right way to store cheese
The professional storage of our cheeses is essential to ensure that they mature and develop properly. During its creation, a cheese goes through various stages of production. The longest time of its development cycle is spent in storage.
Proper storage brings with it high demands. Climatic conditions have to be right, we place the highest regard on hygiene and every cheese is treated differently. In addition, there must be a sensible division of space for us who work there. Likewise, the machinery that supports us in our work must be properly set up and coordinated with the warehouse.
Our new storage
A number of requirements therefore come with the construction of a new warehouse. After two years of construction, we were finally able to put such a cheese storage into operation in Kirchberg last summer.
We were able to build an ultra-modern ripening warehouse in the former factory halls in Kirchberg, which had been empty for some time. It has space for 120,000 wheels of cheese. Here, the cheese can ripen in 4 places and at a height of 32 layers under excellent conditions. The new warehouse is particularly suitable for the ripening of cheeses with a long and intensive ripening period.
More about the cheese ripening storage
The warehouse is already being actively used and we are already producing a wide variety of cheeses there, including award-winning ones.

Would you like to take a tour with us?
We are pleased to be able to count the warehouse as part of the expanded infrastructure of Güntensperger Käse AG. Tried and tested cheese creations can mature there alongside future inventions from us, and each one can become a unique cheese.
We offer tours of our warehouses and production facilities and tell you directly and personally everything you want to know about us and our cheese. Afterwards, we can conduct a tasting session together or you can create your own Mutschli or fondue with us.

We hope to welcome you soon and if that doesn't work out right away, we will gladly continue to provide you with exciting information about cheese or directly with cheese itself.
