Marc's Swiss Cheese is crafted by the Thönen village cheese dairy in Wängi, Switzerland, reflecting the typical and successful characteristics of Swiss cheese.
This family-owned business follows a proprietary recipe, passed down through generations, to produce this raw milk cheese.
The cheese is carefully stored in special cellars and lovingly cared for with pure salt water, enhancing its flavor and texture.
Smeared ripened cheese production involves washing the cheese with various solutions like brine, wine, or herbs to create unique flavors and textures. Cheese makers guard their recipes as secrets, resulting in diverse cheeses from village to village. This practice reflects terroir, tradition, and innovation, allowing cheese makers to differentiate their products in the market while preserving the rich heritage of Swiss cheese culture.
