Swissland Cheese

About Swissland Cheese

Swissland Cheese is an established, unique enterprise that pioneered in 1992 by Fran Isaac. The opportunity presented itself in those years when Frans’ family background of dairy farming and her own passion for the farm life she grew up with, came together just before the time when the only cheeses available and known to the South African public, was the Annatto coloured Cheddar and Gouda. At the same time, cheeses such as Camembert and Brie paved the way for an interest and a demand for different styles of cheeses in South Africa.

It was at the beginning of a new food culture, where healthy, wholesome foods were being sought after. This also collided at the start of the well known Midlands Meander Tourist route, incorporating artists, artisans and agri-tourism. A route that has become popular in providing and sharing an insight to the lives of these people and the beautiful area in which they live.
