Rücker Friesischer Hirtenkäse

Rücker Friesischer Hirtenkäse is a traditional product from the North German dairy manufacturer Rücker. It is a cow's milk salad cheese, typically matured in brine or oil with herbs, reflecting the coastal heritage of the company. The product is manufactured primarily in Germany at the company's sites in Aurich and Wismar.

The brand is owned and operated by Rücker GmbH, a family-run enterprise with a history dating back to 1890. Unlike many dairy brands acquired by global conglomerates, Rücker remains an independent, medium-sized company currently managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Rücker family. Its branding emphasizes traditional craftsmanship and the use of regional cow's milk.
