Swiss Cheese Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizer Käseunion AG) was a cartel in Switzerland engaged in the promotion of cheese and cheese products from Switzerland.
The Swiss Cheese Union promoted subjective and objective quality of cheese, but also acted as a regulator, such as on price.
The Swiss Cheese Union was successful in campaigning for cheese fondue and raclette becoming national dishes in Switzerland.[citation needed] Before that, they were both regional dishes.
The Union exported the surplus of the subsidized Swiss production abroad.
