The Red Witch cheese was created in 2008 through a collaboration between master cheese maker Christian Oberli and a dedicated cheese aficionado. This shared vision transformed into an enduring success story that is still celebrated today. Christian is the owner of Oberli Kaserei, a third-generation family business founded in 1926. The Kaserei is perched in Rossruetti, near Wil in St. Gallen, Switzerland, at an altitude surpassing 600 meters.
The Red Witch cheese captivates both the eyes and the palate with its distinct appearance and soft, spicy aroma. Its texture melts delicately, offering a unique taste experience that makes it a favorite on any cheese platter. Oberli Kaserei sources its milk from 30 local dairy farms focused on grass-fed, silage-free husbandry, emphasizing natural animal care and welfare. The Kaserei produces an assortment of semi-hard to hard cheeses, enchanting customers in Switzerland, Germany, and internationally. Annually, Oberli processes over 38,000 liters of milk and maintains storage facilities for up to 30,000 wheels of cheese
