KaeseStrasse - CheeseRoad Bregenzerwald |
|
|
 Die KaeseStrasse Bregenzerwald is not only another region or a route, where you can buy cheese. It’s a trade mark of our region, a network of producers and marketing agents, a philosophy and harmony of farmer habits for local quality products and modern marketing, well thought in an economic environment that delivers interesting impressions to our guests and local inhabitants.
Real and authentical, that’s what the KaeseStrasse - CheeseRoad Bregenzerwald wants to be and serve for the local people — their self-confidence, the quality of their products, the economical safety, and the protection of the cultural environment. Protecting ressources and innovation is sometimes a sword that cuts both sides, but which was made possible in the Bregenzerwald forest and lived every day - not only on the KaeseStrasse.

Dairy farmers
|
|
In 17 village diaries the Bregenzerwald cheese specialties are produced based on procedures that are more than several hundreds of years old based on very solid traditions in small and high quality structures. The annual production of nearly 45 mio. liters milk is nearly solely taken in the region for the production of cheese products, mainly to 4,500 tons of spicy mountain cheese and to additional approximately 40 regional different cheese brands, as well as butter and cream. We have no mass production or cheese factories in our Bregenzerwald.

Dairy Alps
|
|
More than 90 Senn diaries are operational in the Bregenzerwald, that populate the high mountain meadows with milk cows. To the gourmet specialties we count the Bregenzerwald Alps cheese, that is only produced by hand during summertime. The different in tastes are based on the different type of grass and herbs that grow in the different regions. The 200 tons Alps cheese of our region is a rare specialty and always an absolute highlight for cheese friends.
