Further information

You wouldn't immediately think of Germany as a major cheese producer, yet it produces more than 1.8 million tons of cheese annually making it the largest cheese producer in Europe, followed by France, Italy and the Netherlands. The largest percantage of German cheeses are made in Bavaria with other important cheese producing regions being Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony-Anhalt.

The Cheese route (Käsestraße)

The Cheese Route (German: Käsestraße) is a holiday route in north Germany, which links cheese-producing businesses in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

Because cheese dairies are spread over the entire state, the Cheese Route runs once around Schleswig-Holstein. The first presentation of the route was in July 1999. At the start of 2000 the Schleswig-Holstein Cheese Route Society (Verein Käsestraße Schleswig-Holstein) was founded.
