Guggisberg Cheese Factory
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.
