Swiss Gruyere Alpage 18 months+ – 200g
$106
With its subtle and sophisticated taste Le Gruyère AOP is much appreciated by connoisseurs around the world. Produced since at least 1115 in the region surrounding the small town of Gruyère, it is still made today in the village cheese factories according to the traditional recipe. Gruyere d’alpage displays an impressive depth of flavor, with dominant savory notes and a sweetish finish. The wheel we’re currently selling, now about 18 months+ old. Since cheese is made every day, each wheel is expressive of the grasses at that location, at that point in time. Unlike the French one, it doesn’t have wholes. It gets more intense when melted.
