Description

Indulge in the extraordinary: 22 months of perfection, Gruyere Alpage, a cheese like no other.

Gruyère AOP Grand Affinage has a full-bodied and intense, slightly woody taste, which it owes to its maturation period of 22 months. Its paste has a beautiful crystallization and is slightly brittle, in tones with yellowish reflections.

Country of origin: Switzerland
Region, town: Moléson-sur-Gruyères, canton of Fribourg
Source of milk: Unpasteurised Cow's milk
Texture: Firm, Dense with crystallization. Slighly brittle
Flavour: full-bodied, intense, slighly woody taste.
Aging time: minimum 22 months

Wine Pairing: A buttery Chardonnay complements the creamy texture of Gruyère and enhances its nutty notes. A light and fruity Pinot Noir pairs well with Gruyère. An aged dry sherry, such as an Amontillado or Oloroso, can provide an intriguing contrast to the cheese's nutty flavors.

*All our cheeses are cut by hand so the weight may vary slightly :)

Rich slightly salty cheese 5

Posted by Bruce on 28th Sep 2023

Firm textured and full flavoured gruyere is a great cheese for cheeseboards, with crackers and stand-alone nibbling.
