Schaukäserei Kloster Engelberg

If your travels bring you to Engelberg, this is a required stop during your time. Located in the shadows of the monastery in Engelberg, there are a variety of goods available for purchase. I had originally planned on doing a tour of the monastery before paying a visit to the cheese shop, however that first step never took place as tours are only offered in German. Ich spreche kein Deutsch. So, once your beyond the big stone wall separating this place from the rest of the town, the cheese shop is located in one of the smaller buildings on the grounds.
When you walk in, directly in front of you is the cheese display. A variety of hard and soft cheeses made on site are available. There were a few items available on a small table for sampling. Since I was planning on buying cheese to bring back to the states, I needed it to be vacuum-​packed and a hard cheese. Can’t imagine trying to get a soft cheese back. While there were a lot of tempting softer cheeses available, I did find a few good sized pieces of their Berg-​Kase, which was available on that small table for sampling. I picked up a few of those and was on my way. Prices were fair given the quality of the cheese and it being a tangible reminder of my time in Engelberg,

Gorgeous cheese and goodie shop next to the monastery in Engelberg. You can see them making cheese and they have a great selection of cheese made in the area.
