Cheese Details

Back to list

	Gruyere d'Alpage 2004 Classic Swiss Gruyère has a more fruity, grainy texture and tastes stronger and nuttier than the French equivalent. Made and named after the medieval-looking town in the Fribourg Canton of Switzerland, this cheese should aged at least 3 years and can used as a table cheese or cubed into salads or grated into omelettes, as well as fondue. Best when made from summer milk produced when the cows are grazing on the Apline flowers in the mountains. Beneath the slightly oily, wrinkled rind the pâte is firm with a delicate yellow colour releasing aromas of honey and nuts. Small pea-sized holes are spread throughout the cheese.

Switzerland
One might think of Switzerland as being a country only of mountains. However, with a only quarter of the 16,000 square mile country being classified as mountainous, Switzerland is about much more than winter sports. It has a thriving agricultural industry that even includes cultivating fruit and flowers.
