Käsküche Isny — the Organic Co-op Behind Murray’s Sternschnuppe

An independent profile. bavariancheese.com is not owned by or affiliated with any cheesemaker — including this one.

Why this maker matters

Of all the small Allgäu dairies in this guide, Käsküche Isny is the one Americans may have tasted: its Sternschnuppe cheese has been sold in the US by Murray’s — though current stocking could not be confirmed at last check. An organic cooperative dairy in Isny im Allgäu, making the jump from Westallgäu pastures to a New York cheese counter — that’s the whole promise of this site in one cheese.

The story

Käsküche Isny is an organic cooperative dairy — “Käsküche” is the Allgäu word for a cheese dairy, and the co-op format puts it in the region’s deepest tradition. A 2018 report said cheesemaker Evelyn Wylde retired that January, describing the remaining wheels as the last ones — so treat production status as uncertain.

Finding it in America

The hopeful news: Murray’s has carried Sternschnuppe in the US — but current stocking could not be confirmed at last check. If your local shop doesn’t carry it, ask — Murray’s wholesale network reaches serious cheesemongers nationwide.
