About Feinkäserei Stich

Stich Feinkäserei GmbH is a mid-sized family business in Ruderatshofen in the East Allgäu region that has been producing cheese specialties in artisanal tradition since 1895. In the modern dairy operation, around 30,000 liters of milk are processed daily into mountain cheese, soft cheese, hard cheese and fresh cheese as well as other dairy products. The product range is available in specialty retail throughout Germany, including the cheese counters of Feneberg, V-Markt and EDEKA. Sales also take place via the company's own Käseparadies at the site, a 24-hour cheese vending machine, an online shop with shipping, and weekly markets in Kaufbeuren and Neugablonz. The company is managed by Laurent Stich in the fourth generation and employs around 30 staff. Production is organic-certified (DE-ÖKO 006), and the cheese specialties have been awarded multiple times.
