Ordering & delivery
How do I order?
Add the products to your cart, choose delivery or pickup at checkout and send the order. You receive a confirmation by e-mail; alternatively order directly via WhatsApp or e-mail.
What does delivery cost?
Within 10 km of Schmerikon (Uznach, Eschenbach, Benken, Kaltbrunn, Rapperswil-Jona, Tuggen) we deliver free of charge in the evening. Other places in the region CHF 5.–, shipping across Switzerland from CHF 8.50 including packaging.
How long does delivery take?
Locally usually the same or next evening. Postal shipping in 1–3 working days; the cheese is vacuum-packed and copes with transport without any problem.
Can I collect my order?
Yes – at Fidibus.Beer in Schmerikon (Thu/Fri 13:30–18:30, Sat 9–15) or at Metzgerei Betschart in Eschenbach (Mon–Sat). Choose “Pickup” at checkout.
Is there a minimum order?
No. For shipping, a combined order pays off – the shipping costs stay the same.
Payment
How can I pay?
After order confirmation you receive a TWINT QR code. Alternatively by invoice (bank transfer) or cash on pickup.
Is payment secure?
Yes. TWINT is the Swiss banks’ payment system; we never see any card data. No payment data is stored on the website.
Products
Is Parmigiano Reggiano lactose-free?
Yes, naturally. After 48 hours of ageing the milk sugar is completely broken down – without any additives.
How long does the cheese keep?
Vacuum-packed and refrigerated, several months. Once opened, wrapped in carta politenata in the fridge, 3–4 weeks.
Where does the balsamic come from?
From a family acetaia in Reggio Emilia. It ages for at least seven years in small barrels of different woods.
Are the pralines suitable for children?
Yes – they contain no alcohol. The filling consists of Swiss chocolate and Balsamico Riserva.

Can I have a gift sent?

Do you supply restaurants and shops?
