Alpine
Hornbacher
Michu, as Michael Spycher is called by his friends, has been producing the Hornbacher for 25 years. The cheese got its name from the small river that flows through right next to the dairy. Until 2014 Michu and his wife Monika sold the specialty only in their cheese shop. With growing popularity, the two decide to produce more of the Hornbacher to meet local and export market demands.
