ÖMA Leupolzer light is for all those who like things "lighter" but still don't want to miss out on the characteristic mild, nutty taste of Emmentaler. The basis for this light, hard cheese made from semi-skimmed milk is the best Allgäu Demeter milk from currently 21 suppliers who work according to the biodynamic farming method, and Leupolzer light is produced in a similar way to the Dutch Leerdamer light. The curd is filled into large block molds and, after salting, the cheese is matured in maturing foil in the same way as Emmental. This means first four to seven weeks in the heating cellar at 20°C and then at 8 to 10°C to mature. The holes in the cheese and the sweet, aromatic taste of Emmentaler are created in the cellar by the propionic acid fermentation, and there is background information and stories about the cheese, the farmers and the dairy for interested customers and cheese lovers. ÖMA Production Leupolz, which was founded in 1960 as the cooperative 'Emmentaler Käserei Leupolz', is located in the middle of the Allgäu hills. Due to the increasing number of organic dairy farmers in the region, a second, separate production line was set up in 1986, on which only Demeter products are produced to this day. Master cheesemaker Pit Pfohl and his employees process 9,000 liters of fresh hay milk into butter, semi-hard and hard cheese every day. The most popular of these are the hard cheese classics Allgäuer Emmentaler and Allgäuer Bergkäse - both with protected origin. The current 21 supplier farmers manage their farms using biodynamic farming methods. This is characterized by diversity in cultivation and animal husbandry, the development of the farm as an individual, living organism, working to the rhythm of natural cycles and cosmic influences and the targeted use of biodynamic preparations.the horned dairy cows graze on the herb-rich Allgäu meadows in summer, while in winter they are mainly fed dried hay and grain meal.the Emmentaler light is produced in a similar way to the Dutch Leerdamer light.
