Our Story
Recognising the international appetite for Swiss cheese, our CEO Stefan Wolfensberger and Co-Founder Thomas Hinz felt inspired to establish Real Swiss Cheese GmbH in 2014. The mission was clear: making top-tier Swiss cheese accessible to a broader audience abroad at compelling prices. Today, the operation spans worldwide, serving wholesalers, retailers, hotels and restaurants, all in the pursuit of sharing the joy of Swiss cheese. RSC remains committed to sourcing its products exclusively from esteemed regional Swiss cheesemakers, fostering sustainable and enduring partnerships that hold the essence of quality and tradition.
