THE MARK OF AOP
The official quality mark AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protegée) is reserved for traditional products with long-standing regional origins. Once the Swiss Federal Office of Agriculture registers a protected designation, Emmi and other cheesemakers only use it for products that meet all requirements regarding quality, origin and production. When you buy Emmi cheese from Switzerland you’re not only supporting the livelihood of our farmers, cheesemakers and their families, you help preserve the cheesemaking traditions from centuries past and securing the promise that these cheeses will live on for future generations.
