Appenzeller Schaukaserei, Stein

Seeing the cheese making process is amazing. They have everything labeled and you can watch the cheese being made in real time. The staff is very accommodating. Food in the restaurant is ok. The local specialty pear based pie is a must try if you like spiced fruit, otherwise the ice cream and fruit cocktail would be better suited. Wear shoes suitable for walking in a field so you can take a walk the the large specimen tree at the top of the hillside behind the factory. You can see the entire valley from the hilltop. For the kiddos there is a fun playground outside.

They have a self guided tour which includes cheese samples and a view of the cheese making process. They also let you make your own herb combinations to take home. It was interesting and delicious!

Great experience for a fair price – very friendly staff. At around 12fr /adult you get to enjoy a great self-guided tour of the factory (with translations available for all exhibits using a QR code and free wifi), a sample of 4 different types of their cheese, a small bag of mixed herbs you get to make at the end, and a restaurant with tasty options near the end. Would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the cheese-making process where they do it best.

One of the better cheese making tours we have seen. They used QR codes to let you read displays in English. Recording would have been better but that worked too.

I loved the Appenzeller Schaukäserei. It was a great experience to understand the Swiss cheese culture and production. We booked a normal entry to the Schaukäserei and got cheese samples to try the different types of Appenzeller. It was great! At the end we took some cheese to enjoy at home. Appenzeller is delicious For more follow me on IG: foodstagramando
