Our Story: Pure, Uncompromised Artisanal Cheese
What started as a curious experiment has evolved into a passion-driven adventure. Based in the heart of Centurion, d’Bergen Artisan Cheese is a small-batch cheesery dedicated to crafting honest food that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. We believe that true luxury lies in simplicity. That is why our cheeses are made using traditional methods and only essential, premium ingredients—with absolutely nothing hidden and zero unnecessary additives.
Born from a Healing Journey
All journeys start with a path, however faint the initial tracks may be, and ours is no different. Following major health setbacks, an exploration into holistic well-being led us to a profound realization: good food is the original medicine, not only for the body, but for the mind and soul too.
In our search for clean, alternative dairy products to accommodate food sensitivities, we tried goat’s milk cheese for the first time. This single tasting sparked a desire to experiment with the intricate, full flavors that goat’s milk brings to the culinary experience.
Driven by the encouragement of friends and family, a personal quest for health grew into a dedicated mission. We wanted to create cheese where nothing is added that does not absolutely need to be there, allowing us to share clean nutrition with other travellers seeking better health for themselves and the people they love.
Sourced with Intention
Exceptional cheese begins with exceptional milk. We partner closely with dedicated farmers in the Heidelberg area who maintain pristine standards of animal welfare and agricultural excellence. Sourcing this superior quality raw ingredient allows us to protect both the nutritional integrity and the natural flavor profile of everything we create.
Distinct and Flavorful Collections
We initially focused on goat’s milk products because we fell in love with the complex, intricate flavors it naturally yields. Today, our collection has grown. To complement our robust goat’s milk line, we now craft an ever-expanding range of distinct cow’s milk cheeses. Whether you prefer the bright, sophisticated depth of a premium goat’s milk variety or the rich, comforting creaminess of an expertly aged cow’s milk cheese, we ensure every batch fully satisfies the palate.
The Peak of Our Journey
Our rapid growth inspired our evolution from Magdilina to d’Bergen Artisan Cheese. Our new name reflects our journey—one shaped by the challenging peaks and valleys of a mountain (berg), alongside our unyielding resolve to move forward. As a conscious brand, our growth is rooted in our values. We strive to actively care for our employees, uplift our local partners, and respect our shared environment at every step of production.
We invite you to share in this search for good food and enjoy the benefits of clean eating with your loved ones. Welcome to dBergen. Taste the purity of true artisanal craftsmanship.
