You won't find Harzer cheese in any store in Switzerland. However, this product would certainly do extremely well. I know many people from the fitness sector, including myself, who would definitely buy it. Please include Harzer cheese in your product range!!!!!!!!!!

With the fitness wave and the increasing number of German-educated trainers, Harzer cheese is certainly a topic for Migros, or at least it should be. Nutritionists and websites often talk about this cheese because it contains a lot of protein and is therefore an ideal protein-containing companion for fitness enthusiasts. I can well imagine that Harz cheese is a product of the future.

What exactly does this cheese consist of?
I assume it is also made from cow's milk ?
Why is it higher in protein than other cheeses? Cow's milk - cow's milk or am I making a mistake?
At least it sounds interesting.

The question of what makes this Harz cheese so popular among fitness fans is honestly a bit of a mystery to me. I have seen on various websites that it is listed as one of the best protein-containing cheeses. (Mainly German sites) In Berlin where my father lives I once asked a fitness instructor and he said it was mentioned so much because it is also practical to eat protein-containing food, but otherwise there are other even more protein-containing foods that you can of course eat. Cheese and fitness fans are apparently very well served by this.
Nutritionally, cheese is cheese when it comes to protein, but it is worth knowing that it is useless to consume more than 13gr. protein per meal, but at least 5 times a day. Cheese is of course easy to take with you, tuna salad or other things are a bit more complicated depending on the job (and more time-consuming to prepare), but that's just my opinion!

I think it's more about the fact that it's a low-fat cheese. I assume that all cheeses have the same amount of protein. But with a high-fat cheese you would be eating a lot of fat as well as protein. Perhaps this also works with cottage cheese? I googled Harz cheese. It says that it has caraway seeds in it. I don't think it's my taste after all ;)

I know Bloderchäs
Fine :)
Biz similar to FETA
Brotchäs (fried cheese) from Toggenburg is also very good. You fry it in a pan like a piece of meatloaf without it melting. It will probably also have very little fat.

@oli-L Probably that "stinky cheese" really does have a few more proteins than other cheese...it's pretty dry, then it has less water, which adds to the weight!
All these ideas that assume you have to eat something to get thin are "idiot catching". And it's also garbage to eat a one-sided diet, for example far too much protein. Only a balanced diet is healthy
However, one could imagine that some marketing nutter will soon come up with the great idea of turning the very negative aspect of such "stinky cheese" (= the fact that it stinks) into a win-win situation. Coca Cola, for example, has managed to get almost every child to "recognize" a bottle of the brand as such with their eyes closed ... Similarly, the smell of a stinky cheese could be transformed into a "trademark"! Imagine how beautiful, trendy and enjoyable it could be if you could smell the spicy, rustic smell of your favorite stinky cheese even before you get to Migros!

At this point, I would like to make a half-length version of my site. Opinions go in different directions, and that is somehow a good thing. (May freedom of opinion exist forever and ever!)
Harz cheese has advantages and disadvantages, just like any other product. The question here on the forum is whether it is in the interests of Migros to include such a cheese in its range or not. Interest and profit will always be in the foreground, but that is normal.
Personally, and this is really just my opinion, Migros should give it a try (possibly through a field trial). Fitness fans and athletes looking for reduced-fat products are very much in demand. Fitness products (low in fat, sugar or carbohydrates) are certainly a trend, as is taste versus health.
I for example do a lot of sport, 2-3x fitness a week, during the season when I can, 4-5 workouts in the sport I do. Maintaining my muscle mass is therefore an absolute must (extreme sport). But I eat healthily, according to the Piramide. 4-6 meals a day with as much protein as I can take in per meal, but also vitamins, trace elements and minerals.
I don't care about taste, smell etc. when I'm preparing for a competition. The main thing is to eat healthy, low in fat and balanced to achieve maximum performance. Harzer cheese is a good thing for those who eat a conscious, controlled and preparatory diet. There are certainly alternatives, but I would like to have the opportunity to try it out for myself and see if this cheese is really better than others.
Some marketing mastermind will certainly come up with an idea to make it better in some way and promote sales, but this is our society. In my opinion, we are responsible for whether we believe what a marketing "Heini" (if I may say so) serves up to us, but we should also take into account that we are shaped by our parents' upbringing and our social environment, and unfortunately we cannot influence that.
Let's be honest, why shouldn't we have it at our disposal and be able to try it out and form our own opinion... the retail trade has this in its hands, and we as consumers can only communicate our concerns and requests thanks to a portal like this.
By the way, thanks to Migros for giving us this opportunity!

I would also think it would be great if Harz cheese was introduced. Unfortunately, it's still a gap in the market here in Switzerland.

I'm also in favor of the Harzer. I seriously think it's delicious ?
