Milchwerke Oberfranken West E.G.

We count among the internationally leading producers of fine cheese specialities. It all started back in 1927 when the former dairy in Coburg began with the production of cheese using traditional recipes. The current "Milchwerke" (dairy works) came into existence in 1975 due to a merger. In 1990, numerous suppliers from Thuringia joined. Today, the cooperative counts more than 1,300 milk producers and is equipped with trendsetting production facilities. You can identify our cheese specialities by the markings "DE BY 403 EG" and "DE BY 603 EG" About 37,500 tons of cheese specialities were produced in 2009. We make soft, hard or processed cheese - so you will find a wide assortment for all purposes. These natural cheeses are preserved solely with table salt. Microbiological rennet is used for fermentation. Organic cheese specialities are becoming more and more popular. Only milk from certified dairy farms - which have proved that they practise organic agriculture - must be used for such products
