Le Gruyère cheese enjoys a rich history dating back to the 12th century when Swiss cheesemakers began crafting this deeply flavorful cheese. Today we follow the same recipes and strict guidelines to earn the AOP label. Not only do farmers feed their cows a naturally sustainable diet of pasture grass in the summer and hay in the winter. Our cheesemakers also incorporate only the freshest milk supplied twice a day from nearby farms. We then craft exclusively in copper vats to impart a unique, complex character that connoisseurs crave. As Le Gruyére AOP slowly matures in the cave-like atmosphere of our cellars, each wheel is delicately turned, lightly brined and brushed. This brings out the inimitable flavor featuring notes of candied walnuts, dried fruit and spice.
