The total figure, including domestic and imported products, came to 217,596 tonnes, the dairy farmers' umbrella organisation, Producteurs Suisses de Lait (PSL), reported on Thursday. Compared with 2024, this represents an increase of 590g or 2.5% per capita.

In 2025, quark, fromage frais and semi-hard cheese accounted for more than two-thirds of total consumption. This trend can be explained“in part by changing culinary habits: quark and fromage frais, such as mozzarella, are used more and more”, said the PSL. For aperitifs, semi-hard cheeses and mountain and alpine cheeses remain very popular, added the organisation.
