Our show dairy
The heart of KÄSEMACHERWELT in Heidenreichstein is our dairy, which you can visit on a guided tour. Here, cheese lovers have a unique opportunity to watch professional cheese makers at work and to follow the process by which our delicious cheese is created from milk. The cheese dairy is not just for show here – this is where all of our semi-hard and soft cheese range is produced.
Going on a journey of discovery
At the start of the dairy tour, we show you a film in our cinema about the history of DIE KÄSEMACHER. This is followed by the guided tour, in which you can find out more about our raw material milk, and see how we make our delicious semi-hard and soft cheese.
At various points during the tour, you can sample our delicious Waldviertel cheese and antipasti specialties such as our multi award-winning Waldviertel smoked cheese, or our popular “Peppersweet”.
