Our Cheeses

The names of our cheese products honor the history of the dairy, for example Steuberger is a tribute to the builder of the dairy. Our crown jewel, the Tenhola cheese, is a processed emmenthaler that has own salting and maturing spaces.

The Dairy

The Tenhola dairy came to life in 2017 in the hands of Per-Olof “Pelle” Friman. It is situated in an old traditional completed building in 1910. The dairy and cheese factory was built by a Swiss Ernst Stäuber, who founded one of Tenhola´s first dairies. In Finland, the dairy was the second largest cheese producer in the 1930s. Valio had its own production in the dairy from the 1950s till 1987.

The various dairy buildings have been slowly and carefully renovated by Pelle. Currently, the cheese factory has been completely renovated with an added cheese cellar and room for group visits.

Guided tours at the cheese factory

Groups are always welcome to visit and learn about the cheese factory. Simultaneously you will get to know the persons making cheese and hear how the astounding idea came about. Remember to book your guided tour well in advance. You can make a reservation by phone or email, either to Pelle or Anne.

During the tour, we can arrange lunch for you in the meeting room of the dairy. Many groups choose to have lunch at our Bakfickan restaurant, connected to our Friman´s General Store.
