MICHAEL HANKE

Village Dairy Combremont

“Growing up in a cheese-making family in the Allgäu, cheese-making is in my genes. Before I took over my own business, I wanted to learn from the best in every discipline. That’s why I worked in different companies – from small to industrial – in 5 different countries.

I learned from the big ones how to make processes efficient or how important it is to be close to the market; from the small ones which factors play a key role for top cheese quality, etc.

In Combremont, I continue to live my passion, bring all my acquired knowledge together and realize a long-time vision with the takeover of the company.”
