Emmentaler AOP Producers
Network of village dairies producing AOP-certified raw-milk Emmentaler hard cheese.
Emmentaler AOP represents an organisation and protected designation for Emmentaler cheese produced in Switzerland. The cheese is manufactured from raw milk in close to 100 village dairies (Dorfkäsereien) across the Emmental region and surrounding areas. The site indicates production takes place according to traditional methods. Cheese varieties include classifications by maturity (Mild/Classic, Réserve/Surchoix) as well as specialty categories such as Bergemmentaler, Höhlengereift (cave-aged), Eidgenoss, Gotthelf, URTYP, and Extra. The organisation also offers organic versions of main categories (Bio Mild/Classic and Bio Réserve/Surchoix). Each wheel carries an individual cheesemaker number printed on the rind, allowing traceability to the originating dairy. Lactose-free versions are mentioned, and production is stated to contain no additives. The product is sold throughout Switzerland with availability varying by region.
