World Champion - 2024

The Hornbacher cheese is produced by the passionate Gourmino master cheesemaker Michael Spycher at his cheese dairy Fritzenhaus in Wasen. In addition to the world champion cheese “Le Gruyère”, Michu (how Michael’s called by his friends) produces this specialty already for quite a while. Up until now, he and his wife Monika sold this cheese just in their own little cheese store. The nutrient-rich milk comes from the surrounding hills and gives the cheese a very special flavor profile. This is the basis for the high quality of Michu’s cheeses. This mountain cheese has been cared for with love and ripens in his cellars to develop the unique rind and taste.

Shipping Cheese

Minimum Order of $25 required to ship cheese (excluding shipping and taxes), thank you for your understanding

We ship cheese using UPS Monday through Wednesday in insulated packages. UPS Next Day or 2 Day Air is recommended for shipments to states not boarding Illinois.

Cut, Wrap & Receiving

All our orders are sliced by hand and wrapped in breathable cheese wrap. Slicing cheese is an inexact art. Weights are approximate and will vary. To ensure optimal condition upon delivery, we employ Koldtogo Extreme Cube Insulated Shipping Liners and no sweat gel ice packs. Cheese should be refrigerated immediately upon arrival

Fulfilment

To maintain quality, our cheese inventory is constantly refreshing. We cannot guarantee that a cheese is in stock at a quantity sufficient to fill an order. Orders for out of stock or limited quantities will be notified, substitutions recommended and purchases partially or wholly refunded if necessary.
