Portrait of Yule Seifert
i. Biography
Yule Seifert is a Belgian engineer, co-founder, and cheesemaker at Urstrom Kaese GmbH in Baruth/Mark, Brandenburg, Germany. Cheese work at this level sits between process control and material judgment: the engineer’s habit of measuring, checking, and repeating meets the cheesemaker’s need to read texture, temperature, and timing as the batch develops. In Seifert’s case, that balance is the work itself, with each step carrying weight in the character of the final wheel, curd, or spread.

As co-founder, Seifert is part of the business from its base; as cheesemaker, he remains close to the process that defines it.
