RÜCKER Foodservice stands for Clean Label and 100 % cheese
As an owner-managed family dairy in the fourth generation, our whole love is for our cheese specialities. We don’t know standard products – RÜCKER stands for exceptional and special. Our cheese makes the difference on your menu. RÜCKER Foodservice stands for unique cheese. In addition to our traditional products such as naturally matured and savoury cheese specialities, we produce our own white cheese range. Our traditional Friesischer Hirtenkäse is the North German version of the Greek Feta, which we developed in the 1960s. We also offer it as a creamy version and as salad cubes. All types of shepherd’s cheese are naturally matured in brine and are free of colourings and preservatives. The same strategy is applied to our grilled cheese: Inspired by halloumi, but does not squeak when eaten. Our grilled cheese consists of 100% cheese – unfortunately no longer a matter of course today…
Short distances and highest standards
Our cheese is produced, packaged and packed in Aurich and Wismar respectively. Short distances, high transparency, everything from a single source – this is how we ensure our own quality standards. And we are on the road to sustainability. This is demonstrated not only by our energy management (certified according to ISO 50001:2018). To guarantee the high quality of our white cheese, we control according to a strictly regulated system.
