Produced since 1115 in the area surrounding the little village of Gruyères, this cheese is still handcrafted in 135 local dairies according to the original traditional recipe.
With its distinctive, buttery, caramel flavour, le Gruyère AOP wheels arrive at the Mifroma natural cave from local dairies after three months’ maturation.
The cheese is than ripened for 6 months in our sandstone caves which benefit from 96% humidity and a constant temperature of 13°C. It is in this exceptional environment that our Gruyère AOP acquires its succulent character.
The much-loved Le Gruyère AOP cheese has been produced in the region of Gruyère, Western Switzerland, since the 12th century. A staple of all gourmet cheeseboards, and a versatile cooking and eating cheese, Le Gruyère AOP develops extremely refined notes when aged to full maturity. Le Gruyère AOP is prepared from premium unpasteurised milk from cows fed on grass during the summer and hay during the winter. The use of any additives is prohibited.
The character of this superior cheese lies in its specific production methods which, in accordance with AOP requirements, remain true to the original recipe and follow time-honoured techniques. Produced by a happy combination of age-old savoir-faire and the finest Swiss milk, Le Gruyère AOP has been carefully crafted and developed to provide a taste unlike any other; one both rich and authentic. The fruity taste of Le Gruyère AOP wheels varies according to their maturity.
