Swiss Gruyere for Cave Dwellers

The Master Cheesemakers at Emmi have been crafting this exceptional cheese since 1782. Sourcing full 200-pound wheels of Gruyere from the farming regions in the Canton of Fribourg, they then age them in underground sandstone caves at their facility near Lucerne. Made from rich, unpasteurized Alpine cow's milk, this Grand Gruyere Reserve has been aged for a minimum of one year, a significant difference from the typical four to six months. The rustic, somewhat oily rind gives way to a firm, smooth-textured cheese with a slightly aromatic and robustly assertive flavor.

Wonderfully served unadorned with some dark bread and figs, this cheese also makes a fantastic melting ingredient, lending itself well to gratins, fondues, and soups. As it is crafted from unpasteurized cow's milk, this 20-pound form of cheese is a true testament to the skill and dedication of the Emmi cheesemakers.

We are pleased to offer this exceptional cheese by the half-pound, carefully cut and wrapped for your convenience. Should you wish to purchase the whole form, please do not hesitate to contact us. Experience the depth of flavor and the rich, creamy texture that sets this Grand Gruyere Reserve apart from the rest.
