Mrs. Zuehlke, a cheese lover, is behind the creation of the Red Witch. In February, when people in Switzerland celebrate the carnival prior to Lent, they dress up (like on Halloween). She thought that a cheese that goes well with wine or beer or spirits would be nice for the long evenings, so she contacted acclaimed cheese maker Christian Oberli in Northeastern Switzerland. They met in the restaurant of the main train station of the capital Berne to discuss proceedings.

He created the recipe for Rote Hexe ("Red Witch"), and with the paprika-rubbed peppery red rind, as well as the "scary" label with the witch on her broom - a visually attractive cheese was born. Made from raw whole milk, the paste is creamy, easy melting, and relatively mild. He has increased the aging in his cellars from the original 5 up to 8 months when the Red Witch gets aromatic and nutty. Think of it as an artisanal Gruyere or Appenzeller that's frighteningly delicious!

  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.
  • Photo depicts whole 13 lb. form of cheese.

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
