The Schaukäserei Stein, located in the picturesque Appenzell region, offers an authentic glimpse into the traditional art of Swiss cheese-making. Known for producing the famous Appenzeller cheese, this demonstration dairy is a perfect destination for food enthusiasts and anyone curious about Switzerland’s culinary heritage.

During your visit, you can watch master cheesemakers at work, transforming fresh milk from local farms into wheels of Appenzeller. Large glass windows in the production area give you an up-close view of the process, from stirring the milk to shaping and aging the cheese. Informative displays explain the history and techniques behind this renowned cheese, including the closely guarded secret of the herbal brine that gives Appenzeller its distinctive flavor.

The on-site shop offers a selection of Appenzeller cheeses, along with other local specialties like honey, jams, and baked goods. It’s an excellent place to pick up some tasty souvenirs or a picnic supply to enjoy in the surrounding countryside.

If you’re feeling hungry, the dairy’s cozy restaurant serves traditional Swiss dishes, many featuring Appenzeller cheese. From hearty cheese fondue to creamy soups, it’s a delicious way to round out your visit.

Seraina’s Tip: Don’t leave without trying the cheese tasting platter in the restaurant. It’s a great way to sample the different varieties and maturities of Appenzeller cheese and find your favorite. If you’re visiting with kids, the interactive exhibits and hands-on activities make the experience fun for all ages.
