ABOUT MASTER OF CHEESE
Master of Cheese tells the story of one of the world’s best cheesemakers who makes his cheese in a dairy the
size of a living room. Willi Schmid has an extraordinary talent: just by the taste of the milk he knows what the
cow ate. He knows every cow by name, every plant in his valley and produces cheese with pure intuition. His
talents and boundless work ethic has allowed him to produce outstanding cheese in demand across the globe.
Master of Cheese highlights a powerful model of artisanship and sustainable food production. Willi Schmid
dared to listen to Mother Nature’s call and was willing to do the work it takes to master a craft. A touching life
story, inspiring and educational, this film is about honest food for the plate that can inspire the world for the
urgent change we need.
A STORY TO INSPIRE THE WORLD FOR CHANGE
Willi Schmid’s approach to cheesemaking embodies how a sustainable product can be crafted through respect
for nature, community with those you work with, and perfection of craft. He shares important insights into how
honoring craft and collaboration, rather than exploitation, led him to become one of the world’s leading
cheesemakers.
Featuring breathtaking cinematography, captivating characters and an urgent message to heed Mother
Nature’s call, this film ultimately tells an inspiring story about human resilience and the power of craft. Master of Cheese provides us with a vital blueprint for sustainable food production, better living and a healthier planet.
