Gruyere, Cave Aged 12 Months

 

One of the most iconic Alpine mountain cheeses, Gruyere is loved for its nutty taste and excellent melting abilities. Its pale paste riddled with small holes; it is perhaps one of the most easily recognized cheeses in the world.

Smooth yet dense and sliceable, Gruyere cheese is bursting with the unique terroir of the Alps. The fresh grass, herbs, and flowers of the mountain range infuse these wheels with an herbaceous complexity.

Ripened at the dairy for several weeks, then transported to cellars, where the wheels are aged an additional 12 months. This extra time allows the flavors to deepen and develop, altering its profile from mild and nutty to more assertive, complex, and earthy.

A wonderful melting cheese thanks to its high water-to-oil ratio, this extra water ensures Gruyere melts smoothly instead of separating when heated. Its meltability makes it the ideal choice for a wide variety of recipes. From gooey croque monsieurs to French onion soup or fondue, use Gruyere’s rich and delicious taste to enhance omelets, soufflés, quiches, and more!

An AOP cheese, Gruyere is an ingredient you can buy, confident in its origin and production methods. Thanks to its protected denomination of origin, true Gruyere can only be produced in a small area of Switzerland and France. Strict guidelines for its production methods must also be adhered to, promising a quality and consistency in each wheel that can be depended upon.
