Cheese Berlin: 8 November 2026

Where Food Craft, Culture & Community Meet

Since the first gathering in 2012, Cheese Berlin has evolved into one of the international artisan cheese community’s most important hubs. The setting: Markthalle Neun, a historic covered market in Kreuzberg where food craft, culture, and community meet—right in the heart of Berlin.

Every year, cheesemakers, mongers, affineurs, distributors, and cheese lovers from around the world gather to taste, discuss, buy, and celebrate. Exhibitors for the day-long Sunday event are carefully curated, and the market is spiced up by a rich program of tastings, talks, and an exhibition.

A space for conversation, Cheese Berlin connects those who care about real cheese—emphasising the landscapes, animals, and people behind it.

Specialty Cheeses, Shepherds and Traditions

The food festival showcases cheesemongers from Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and the British Isles. They present specialties such as Ahrntaler Graukäse, Chällerhocker, Remeker or Stichelton. The organizers of Cheese Berlin also want to draw their visitors’ attention to the fact that many types of cheese and the knowledge about their production are endangered. The loss of cultural and culinary traditions also means a loss of biodiversity – when old livestock breeds are lost, pastoral landscapes with their specific biodiversity are also destroyed. Cheese Berlin thus wants to keep old cheesemaking traditions alive and present them to the public.
