An unexpected masterpiece from Switzerland
The Thunderstorm Gewitterchäs is a cheese with a very special story. In 2014, disaster struck when a lightning strike disrupted the workplace in the Swiss cheese dairy. Under the sudden stress, an employee made a mistake with the fat content settings, setting it much too high. Initially, the batch of cheese was considered a 'failure' because the cheese became exceptionally creamy and soft for a hard cheese. They were forgotten in the ripening cellar until a surprising discovery was made seven months later: a fantastically powerful and aromatic cheese had been created!
This 'lightning cheese' combines an unexpectedly delicate and creamy texture with a distinctly spicy, rich character. During ripening, fine salt crystals develop in the cheese, providing an extra crunch and a true taste explosion. It is therefore no surprise that the Thunderstorm Gewitterchäs won a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2023. It is a fantastic addition to any luxurious cheese board and gives an exciting, spicy twist to your breakfast or lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thunderstorm Gewitterchäs
How do I recognize the salt crystals in the cheese?
Due to the unique ripening process of at least seven months, fine protein and salt crystals naturally develop in the dairy. You will notice these as a very light, pleasant crunch when you eat the cheese. This is a sign of excellent quality and ripening.
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
No, the Thunderstorm Gewitterchäs is made from thermised cow's milk. This means that the milk is lightly heated to kill unwanted bacteria, while retaining the delicious, complex flavor aromas. The cheese is therefore safe to consume.
Do you also sell other Swiss cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Thunderstorm Gewitterchäs, we have a wonderful assortment of authentic cheeses from Switzerland, such as Emmentaler, Gruyère and Appenzeller. View our complete category Swiss Cheese to discover all our tasty mountain cheeses.
