The origins of Woerle's gourmet cheesemaking traditions can be traced back to visionary cheesemaker Johann Baptist Woerle. Around 1870, he began a search to find the ideal conditions for Emmentaler cheese production. Based on the Purity Law of 1889, 125 years of cheese craftsmanship were set to begin as Johann Baptist Woerle established the first Emmentaler cheese enterprise. He knew that the key to making the best cheese was using the best milk, which only cows with a proper diet can produce. WOERLE cheese specialities are produced from valuable, GMO-free hay milk.
