About GOLDSTEIG Käsereien Bayerwald GmbH
GOLDSTEIG Käsereien Bayerwald GmbH was founded in 1992 as a joint venture of GOLDSTEIG Käserei Plattling eG and the producer association Molkereigenossenschaft Cham eG and is today owned cooperatively by 2,059 dairy farmers from the Bavarian Forest, Upper Palatinate Forest and Bohemian Forest regions. The company produces Mozzarella, semi-hard and hard cheeses at its Cham headquarters, Italian-style fresh cheeses such as Ricotta and Mascarpone in Tittling, and skimmed milk concentrate and butter in Stephansposching. Whole milk, skimmed milk, cream, whey, whey concentrate, whey protein concentrate (WPC) and lactose concentrate are processed. Customers include food retail, specialized wholesale, industrial processors and foodservice. The products are exported to almost all European countries. In 2006 a fully automated hard and semi-hard cheese dairy with a computer-controlled high-bay warehouse was built, and in 2012 the cheese processing centre (KVZ) went into operation.
