A spokesperson for Hochland said the Gervais brand was sold under two products – Hüttenkäse, or cottage cheese, and Kräuterquark, or curd cheese with herbs.
She said the products “stand for quality, naturalness and freshness and thus fit Hochland’s portfolio well”.
Danone will continue to manufacture the products at its Rosenheim plant for a minimum of five years.
The French food giant wants to focus on its Danone-branded products in Germany.
