In Kaltbach, deep within the sandstone, Emmi KALTBACH’s multi-award-winning cheese specialties are aged.

You can tour the cave and watch the cave masters at work as they tend to the cheese wheels with care and passion until they reach the perfect point of maturity.

Since 1953, Emmi has been taking advantage of the optimal conditions in the sandstone cave to refine its cheeses. The specialty cheeses are aged for months in the cave’s humid, mineral-rich climate until they have fully developed their authentic flavor.

There is no formal training for the art of cave aging—it can only be acquired and mastered through years of experience. Exactly how the aging process works and what it entails is not written down anywhere. Only the cave masters, the Maîtres-Kaltbach, know the secret and pass it on only to their peers.

Descend into the sandstone cave, watch the cave masters at work as they practice their unique craft, and taste the perfectly aged cheeses from Emmi Kaltbach.
