ABOUT US - FOUNDER

Rachael Sills is the founder of Käseswiss. She believes in the importance of supporting cheese producers to get their cheese to the market, and to inform & educate so the end client understands the value, quality and provenance of the cheese they have bought. Through Käseswiss she aims to help maintain cheese-making traditions and improve the quality of the cheese that is made.

Rachael comes from a background of dairy farming - with an understanding of the processes and challenges of farming, and 29 years working in the international specialist cheese industry. In addition to her expertise in cheese selection, she has hands-on experience in the cheesemaking and affinage fields which furthers her knowledge and understanding of the complete cycle of cheesemaking. Under Rachaels direction, Käseswiss has developed comprehensive export processes & routes, with excellent partnerships in the export framework.

In placing a strong emphasis on the sustainability of cheesemaking in Switzerland, Rachael started the new initiative of “Natural Alpine Cheese” - to actively support the production tradition and skill of Swiss Alpine cheesemaking, as well as promoting the value of high quality milk achieved through good animal husbandry, a total focus on grass-fed milk, and care of the alpine lands.

Rachael is a regular cheese judge for Swiss, U.K. and other global cheese competitions. Rachael has a commitment to food being produced the right way, and the rethinking of modern farming methods.
