Zuger Frischkase AG

At Zuger Frischkase AG, the knowledge required to produce cheese has been passed down through the family for decades. The great-great-grandfather of the current owner of the company was a passionate cheesemaker in 1850. It was an American uncle of the Zuger brothers who had the idea of producing the still relatively unknown fresh cheese products instead of a more traditional sort of cheese. In America, mozzarella had been popular since the 1980s. With the idea of producing a Swiss mozzarella, the Zuger brothers father, Edwin Zuger, bought the first few litres of cows milk. After an intensive and rather protracted period of development, the first Zuger mozzarella was finally created in 1984. The uncle from America turned out to have had the right instinct-fresh cheese products are now a rising trend and becoming more and more popular.
