ARTISAN CHEESEMAKING AT THE MONASTERY
In Switzerland’s only publically accessible artisan cheesemaking production within a monastery, you can watch cheese being hand-produced and regional milk being crafted into specialities, such as the famous “Engelberger Klosterglocke” from 10:00am to 3:00pm daily.

We offer entertaining and informative demonstrations for groups, clubs and corporates, covering a variety of topics - all to do with cheese.
