T

heir cheesemaking heritage goes back more than 175 years combining art and science in a tradition so rich you can taste it. They believe that great cheese makes the world a better and happier place, and they’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what cheese can be - through new varieties, textures, and flavors. They believe in tradition and innovation. And while you'll find classic cheeses, you'll also find cheeses that are original to their state.

“We do more flavors and varieties of cheese than anywhere else on Earth, by pushing the boundaries of what cheese can and should be.”

"

In Wisconsin, we treat our cows with kindness and respect. After all, without their hard work we wouldn't have a livelihood. Wisconsin farmers strive to offer the most comfortable, clean bedding and living conditions possible. Dairy cows have access to feed, as well as fresh, clean water 24 hours a day. Regardless of the type of barn, dairy farmers focus on proper ventilation and protection from the elements.

Can Bech opened its doors in 1981 under the care of the Bech family, but as a restaurant. One of its most famous dishes was homemade cottage cheese with figs of EmpordĂ , a typical dessert made with sheep's milk fresh cheese with candied figs. The success of the candied figs was so great that the Bech family began to prepare and preserve them in glass jars to sell to their customers.

Far from obscuring the taste of the cheese, the aim is to enhance its organoleptic properties and create a flow of perfectly balanced olfactory and gustative sensations.

Can Bech elaborates these sauces using fruits, dried fruits, nuts and spices, ingredients that are specially selected by origin and that it searches for throughout the 5 continents.
