Our Story
A Passion for Crafting the World’s Finest Cheese
This Is Fine Cheese is brought to you by Champignon North America, Inc., the exclusive importer of Käserei Champignon specialty cheeses for the United States. Käserei Champignon is a family owned company making the finest specialty cheese for over 100 years. The first cheese produced was a Camembert, which had an earthy, mushroomy flavor profile and became the inspiration for the Champignon name.
In 1981 Champignon North America, Inc. was founded and CAMBOZOLA was first introduced to the United States. Over the years, more cheeses were crafted and perfected and the company expanded production to include soft-ripened cheeses, washed rind cheeses, blue cheeses and cheeses for the grill.
Today, we bring our specialty cheeses to people around the world, yet we are still family-owned and are deeply rooted in the Allgäu region of Bavaria. We maintain our soft-ripened and blue cheese production in Bavaria and continue to source our milk from the local farms that have been supplying Käserei Champignon for generations.
Our cheeses are crafted by master cheese makers trained in technical expertise and the artistry of affinage to create cheeses of exceptional quality and taste. Our recipes have been handed down and perfected over our company's hundred year history of cheese making. A Käserei Champignon cheese is a mark of high quality, innovation, and craftsmanship.
“Our aim is to keep exceeding expectations with brands that provide unique enjoyment – every single day”
Robert Hofmeister, Owner & CEO of KÄserei Champignon
