FC St. Gallen 1879 is a semi-soft Swiss cream cheese, aged for around four months to achieve a perfectly balanced profile — not too mild, not too strong. Created as a tribute to Switzerland’s oldest football club, this cheese combines craftsmanship with regional pride, delivering both flavour and story in equal measure.
Produced in Switzerland by the Güntensperger family dairy, this cheese honours FC St. Gallen 1879, the country’s oldest football club. The dairy itself has deep regional roots, dating back to 1868, and the cheese reflects both heritage and passion for the local area.
Part of the proceeds from every kilo sold supports the club’s youth development programme, reinforcing its strong connection to the community.
