This brand of gruyere is new, but its old-school Swiss approach to an ancient recipe is anything but! A cooperative chain of production ensures that the best Brown Swiss cow milk is sourced from a selection of very small herds. These dairy farmers take their fresh, raw milk twice daily to their local, certified Gourmino cheese maker. Their liquid gold is immediately transformed into giant 80lb. wheels and are cared for until the tender age of 3months. At this point the cheese is transported to a centralized aging facility in Langnau where they are tended by hand for 2 to 9 additional months. We’ve selected the most mature wheels – a full twelve months old. Savor the floral qualities of its mountain terroir, and the toasted complexity that can only come with age. A tight, elastic paste means that the Gourmino can be a toothsome addition to a cheese plate or an exemplary melter for a gratin.
