Fully organic – fully eco-friendly!!!
As one of the very first organic pioneers, our commitment to ‘being eco-friendly’ begins with a 100% organic cheese range. Anything less is out of the question! There’s always room for more… especially in view of the many tasks and challenges facing us as a result of the climate crisis. Our founders, Heide and Hermann Beer, instilled this “ecological spirit” into ÖMA, and it has been nurtured and refined over 35 years. Today, more than ever, we stand for more than just organic products. It’s about taking responsibility for the environment, the animals and plants, the soil, the water, the air and the people who share this planet with us.
We cannot achieve this alone, but by seeking sustainable solutions with our partners and consistently pursuing the ecological path together, we can make a significant contribution. Even after 30 years as ‘ÖKOS’, we are only just beginning.

Information, tips & tricks
“We know that we are still in the early stages of developing sustainable packaging solutions,” says Head of Administration Ulrich Kurz, who has been focusing increasingly on this issue. “There is as yet no magic formula for environmentally friendly packaging that can be used for cheese. We are working with various manufacturers and research partners on bespoke solutions for our cheeses and hope to be able to take further steps, bit by bit, towards using less packaging or more sustainable packaging.”
