Berg-Käserei Gais AG
Berg-Käserei Gais AG is located at 950 meters above sea level, nestled in the rolling hills of Appenzellerland between Lake Constance and Säntis. We exclusively process mountain milk from the mountainous region of Appenzellerland, which is delivered to us daily by around 60 farming families and the mooh cooperatives. With a capacity of up to 18 million kg of milk per year, we are the largest milk processor in the Appenzell region.
Depending on the season, our company has up to 12 employees, whereby we rely on qualified specialists and regularly train dairy technologists.
The 6 tons of cheese produced daily are stored in our modern cheese maturing warehouse, which has a capacity for 60,000 wheels. There, they are professionally and carefully tended to by two modern robots. The maturing process and quality are continuously monitored and checked by the boss himself until the cheese has reached the desired degree of maturity after 3-6 months of storage.
Sustainability is particularly important to us. By utilizing waste heat from the neighboring data center and photovoltaic systems on and around our buildings, we are able to cover a large part of the heat and electricity requirements for our cheese production.
