GUGGISBERG CHEESE

Alfred and Margaret Guggisberg moved from their homeland of Switzerland to Ohio in the 1940s, in search of new opportunities. They settled in the Doughty Valley near the village of Charm, and established Guggisberg Cheese in 1950... After a few years of experimenting with the local milk, Alfred decided to develop a new style of Swiss. He had noticed that the American palate seemed to differ from those of Europeans, in terms of enjoying the strong taste of traditional Swiss cheese. This new cheese would be milder, but equally as flavorful, and favorable to young and old alike.
