Goldsteig Mozzarella

Goldsteig is a prominent German dairy brand known primarily for its high-quality mozzarella and various other cheese products. Founded in the late 19th century, the company has grown from a local Bavarian dairy cooperative into one of the leading manufacturers of mozzarella in Europe.

Goldsteig operates as a cooperative venture owned by local farmers in the Bavarian Forest region. All manufacturing takes place in Germany, particularly at their facilities in Cham and Stephansposching. The brand emphasizes regional sourcing, collecting milk from thousands of Bavarian and Bohemian dairy farms to ensure freshness and regional authenticity.

Today, Goldsteig remains an independent cooperative (Genossenschaft). It is not owned by a large multinational conglomerate, but rather by its member farmers, ensuring that the profits and decision-making power remain within the local agricultural community. This structure helps maintain their focus on traditional production methods combined with modern technology.
