Our Cheese Specialities – Taste Crafted by Hand

Like a Good Tailor-Made Suit – Fitting Each Cheese Like a Glove

 

Once a wheel of cheese carries our label, it’s a seal proving its excellent quality. For 50 years, the name Koch has been synonymous with «Hand-Made Swiss Premium» – for select, fine, individual and great cheese enjoyment. We call it «Tailor-Made Cheese» – meaning top-quality ingredients and products, absolute carefulness and deliberation, true craft made by hand, and pure heartfelt passion. And of course the most important thing for us in all we do – the people who make it all happen. Without them, it would all be just another cheese.

Pleased to Meet You: I’m Kevin Koch

Patience, Proportion, and Lots of Sensitivity and Intuition for Making Cheese

 

Kevin Koch creates cheese. Haute Couture made from the best Swiss milk. Full of passion. Putting his heart and soul in it. For conoisseurs. Kevin is entrepreneur, affineur, cheese sommelier – refining cheese with often unconventional, sometimes nearly crazy ideas, a creator and visionary, a true stylist and sublime Créateur de Fromage. With traditional craftsmanship and creative ideas, he and his team of cheese designers are setting new accents in cheese refinement – tailor-made cheese creations, as unique and individual as they come. True cheese art with zeitgeist, often inspired by nature, or by trends he discovers and which trigger his creative vein.

Fondue

 

Cheese fondue – epitome of Swiss tradition and cosy conviviality. To this day, this archetype of molten cheese indulgence is enjoyed by all. With this completely new creation, we’d like to make a very individual statement. So we’ve created our «8 Blumen» in a ready-for-fondue format. It’s our 8 types of flower blossoms which make our «8 Blumen» so characteristic. They are amalgamated into an incomparable taste and fondue experience. Making our fondue ready for the great fashion show!

Reclette for summer lovers

Lavandula Raclette

 

 

Another dress from our FINESSE collection that is guaranteed to awaken summer feelings. Refined cut, excitingly colourful and the shimmering heat of Provence in front of your eyes. Lavender fields and lavender are a familiar image for everyone. And the selected lavender flowers we use develop their aroma particularly well in the hot raclette pan. A light, summery lavender dress in the middle of the cold season. Opposites attract, as we all know.

 

- Raclette for summer lovers.

The tart and refreshing one!

Cannalina

 

In our ESSENZIA collection, we have been completely inspired by the green world of plants this time. A dress woven from an extract of hemp leaves, hemp nuts and hemp oil that leaves a tart yet refreshing taste experience on the tongue. A pleasure experience where the unique taste can be sensually experienced again and again.

 

- with the naturalness of essences, we interpret trends in a unique way.

Sustainability

Being Responsible. Filling Sustainability With Life.

 

Cheese is a purely natural product – made by us and our friends from top-quality raw materials, and matured with loving care and the work of our hands. We make sure that our cheeses always have the same quality and taste as good as ever, and that they are manufactured fairly and sustainably, for the benefit of our environment. We are very attached to our home region, that’s why we have always preferred short distances for transport, and that’s why we build and maintain true friendships – with people who, just like us, assume responsibility and who develop new ideas together with us in tune with nature. We also believe in «bio», i.e. in organic food practices – but not for its own sake.

Cheese Matured in Our Cave

Only the Best Have a Career on the Cheesewalk

 

Truly perfect indulgence comes from carefully selecting the best wheels of cheese and providing them with just the right measure of personal attention. We know that «Haste Makes Waste», which is why give our cheeses lots of time to mature. Down here in our mine, the climatic conditions are ideal. It’s down here that we turn, salt, brush, and check each individual wheel of cheese, thus creating our «Tailor-Made Cheese», preparing them to go out into the limelight and be celebrated on the red carpets of the gourmet world.

Our Outfits

Powerful. Tasty. Hand-Made. And Always More Than Just Enjoyment.

 

Who places their cheese into a coat of ginger, pepper, and lemon, and who breathes life into each and every wheel of cheese? Who lights up a fireworks of flavours, who has kept their curiosity and openness for all things new, and who thus gets inspired to create ever new things? That’s us, at Koch, here in Gonten, located in the Appenzell region of Switzerland. We are connoisseurs who love our indulgence, we are fascinated by the sensory and emotional properties of cheese, and we want to bring cheese creations to life that will make connoisseurs rave. We follow the patterns of nature, combining flavours, pleasing the eye, and fascinating the palate.

Here, Traditional Craftsmanship and Modernity Are No Contradiction

 

It’s here that we ambitiously develop and refine new ideas. It’s here that we won’t relent until the results are up to the demands of our discerning customers. No! Even more – we want to exceed their expectations! We want to be extraordinary, and that’s what we are. By providing retailers, some of whom we have known for decades, with our cheeses, from conventional up to organic «bio» quality – and by having the best solutions available. We realize our ideas just like we envision them. Why? Because we are able to do just that with true perfection.

OUR VALUES: FAMILY TRADITION AND THE BEST SWISS MILK

Each Creation Has Its Own Signature: the Koch Signature!

 

For more than 50 years, the name Koch has been a renowned term and brand of something special in Swiss cheese. It stands for our love for craftsmanship and for extraordinary creations. In a word: for tailor-made quality. What started with the vision of his parents Praxedis and Alois Koch in the Appenzell region, is now continued into the future by their son Kevin – under the name of Koch, «Tailor-Made Cheese».
