Bergader Edelpilz cheese

Bergader is a renowned German specialty cheese manufacturer founded in 1902 by Basil Weixler in Waging am See, Upper Bavaria. The brand became famous for its 'Bergader Edelpilz,' a blue-veined cheese created in 1927 that was originally intended to rival French Roquefort but using cow's milk instead of sheep's milk.

Today, Bergader remains a family-owned and operated business, currently managed by the founder's descendants. The company is known for its high-quality production standards and its commitment to the Alpine region of Bavaria, sourcing milk from local mountain farms. Its products, which include blue mold cheeses, soft cheeses like Bavaria blu, and semi-hard cheeses, are exported globally while maintaining centralized production in Germany.
