History of Lucerne Cheese

Lucerne Cheese is another fine product of the Guggisberg Cheese Company which was started in 1967 just outside of Charm, Ohio by cheese connoisseur Alfred Guggisberg, an alumnus of the famous Swiss Federal “Molkereishulle” (cheese maker’s institute). Lucerne Cheese is a newer addition to their family of cheeses which began with the original Baby Swiss.  In response to many of their patrons who are choosing healthier lifestyles, they added this cheese that contains less fat and sodium than most cheeses.
