The stone pine tree, also called Swiss stone pine, is the queen of the Alps. Besides the wonderful smell, the scent also has a beneficial effect on the human body and mind. The creamy cheese dough with the wonderful pine aroma already announces the feel-good pleasure when you cut it open. On the palate, the milky sweetness with a distinct spicy aroma reveals the cards. The subtle woody note winsomely rounds off the play of flavors.
The Güntensperger cheese dairy dates back to 1868 with the first historical mention of the "Mettlen" dairy in a cash book. Over the years, the company has evolved significantly, maintaining its family-operated structure through generations. Reto Güntensperger, a third-generation cheesemaker, took over the family business in 2013 after completing his training. He and his brother Marcel have modernized the facilities to balance tradition with efficiency. The brand has received numerous accolades, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, reflecting its dedication to quality and artisanal craftsmanship.
