Le Gruyère AOP Réserve
A hard Swiss cheese with a washed rind, made from raw milk. Its origins go back at least to 1115, around the village of Gruyère in the canton of Fribourg. At least 400 litres of fresh milk go into each 35kg wheel, from cows fed on natural pasture in summer and hay in winter.
Tasting notes
Its rind darkens with time as it ripens. As a Réserve, it's matured longer for a deeper, more complex sweet, nutty and savoury flavour.
