Guggisberg Cheese Factory
Millersburg, Ohio

Guggisberg Cheese Factory is located in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country. My daughter and I had the privilege to visit Guggisberg Cheese Factory April of 2012 while visiting maternal cousins.

Alfred Guggisberg came to America, in 1947, from Switzerland to pursue his dream of cheesemaking. When he arrived in the United States, he settled in Holmes County, Ohio. He began by creating Baby Swiss cheese, known for its smaller holes and milder flavor. Now world-famous and a household name, Baby Swiss is a true product of Ohio’s Amish Country.

Guggisberg Cheese, especially their Baby Swiss, is a favourite of cheese lover’s everywhere. [I am not fond of cold cheese, but I love all the cheeses made by The Guggisberg Cheese Factory including the goat cheeses.] One sample of any Guggisberg Cheese and you’ll understand why they’re award-winning quality. Guggisberg Cheese has been the winner of the Ohio Grand Champion Cheesemaker title numerous times and their Baby Swiss is recognized as the “best cheese in the country.”

When visiting the Guggisberg Cheese Factory, besides sampling their cheese products, you may watch firsthand how Guggisberg Cheese is made and understand how it has become world famous. They have over 60 varieties of cheese to choose from. It was our good fortune to discover that the cheeses Guggisberg Cheese manufactures have always been and always will be lactose-free. This is possible by their process of converting lactose to lactic acid, and their special cultures which utilize or consume the lactose during the cheese-making process. [My daughter is lactose intolerant so this which a wonderful discovery.]

Here is a list of cheeses which are safe for the lactose-intolerant:

• Premium Swiss
• Baby Swiss
• Amish Butter Cheese
• Lacerne
• Vintage Select
• Emmental

Guggisberg Cheese offers other products other than cheese such as Trail Bologna, Beef Jerky, Pepperoni Sticks, Summer Sausage, and fruit preserves for cheese.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Ohio’s Amish Country, I would highly recommend stopping by and paying a visit to the Guggisberg Cheese Factory.

2024 CWWC: 04.25 — Any Which Way

Clip Clop Clip Clopping Along

Let’s take a trip back in time ( only to 2011) not too far back. A time when traffic was less hectic and travel was at a much much slower pace.

Amish Horse-drawn Buggy

Don’t worry about the slowness of the drive, we are not in a hurry anyway. We out joy riding and sightseeing the beautiful countryside. We’ll stop wherever we have a hankering to stop, maybe buy a souvenir or two. Hey, this place looks interesting. Let’s stop and have a look around.

I’m glad we stopped there. The cuckoo clock tower was very interesting. I loved all the cheese we were able to sample. They even have lactose free cheese and cheeses made from goats milk. I also enjoyed watching them making the cheese. It is a fascinating and impressive process that they use to make the variety of cheeses.

Back in the car, we cruise more of the countryside. Looking out our windows we observe Amish Buggies clip clopping down the road, Amish ladies strolling along a sidewalk, and young Amish boys/men cruising on their bicycles.

As we continue our leisurely afternoon drive we continue observing the beautiful surrounding landscape. We spot horses, alluring us to stop for a closer look.

Of course my daughter ventures
past the DO NOT ENTER sign
to get closer to the horses.

As we carry on with our adventurous afternoon scenic drive, we find it extremely relaxing to slow down, enjoy ourselves, and not give a care or worry about hurrying back home.

After passing a barn quilt and road signs giving directions on which way to go, we decide to make one more stop before calling it a day.
