L'Etivaz AOP
L'Etivaz AOP
Description
The Rolls Royce of Gruyere has arrived! L'etivaz is a very traditional and incredible cheese, that was the first Swiss product (except wine) to be awarded AOC status in 1999. One of our favourites at Le Fromage Yard, this raw cow's milk cheese has characteristic aromatic/fruity taste with slight hints of nuts that can vary slightly from Alp to Alp depending on the food given to the cows. For a sensational rich cheese, give it a go!
