Gruyère, Rolf Beeler
Pronounced groo-YEHR
Gruyère is one of the most famous Swiss cheeses. It is made from cow's milk and has a nutty, sweet taste with complex musty and mushroomy notes. Our wheels of Gruyère are aged by Rolf Beeler, a master affineur in Zurich. Aging a minimum of sixteen months yields a firm pâte with a granular texture. This exceptional Gruyère is delicious when used in a fondue as well as on its own. Pair this cheese with a Champagne, Syrah, or even Zinfandel. Please note: Because our cheeses are cut by hand exact weights may vary slightly.
Each cheese comes with a fromager note (describing the cheese with beverage pairing suggestions) and a cheese serving tag identifying its name, origin and milk type.
