Globalisation made us forget what a sustainable product really is. We consume and produce so much that its production can only be managed through exploitation instead of respect for the world's natural resources. About 1.3 billion tons of all food produced worldwide is mindlessly wasted and ends up in the trash which is unsustainable.

Willi Schmid’s approach to cheesemaking embodies how a sustainable product can be crafted through respect for nature, community with those you work with, and perfection of craft. He shares important insights into how honoring craft and collaboration, rather than exploitation, led him to become one of the world’s leading cheesemakers.

Featuring breathtaking cinematography, captivating characters and an urgent message to heed Mother Nature’s call, this film ultimately tells an inspiring story about human resilience and the power of craft. Master of Cheese provides us with a vital blueprint for sustainable food production, better living and a healthier planet.
