About this item
Anyone who says they don't like Swiss cheese has not had a taste from a freshly split 80-lb wheel of Gruyere Gourmino. Toasted nut, fruit, and grass flavors explode in your mouth. It's extraordinary. It's mind-blowing. It pulverizes any previous notions of generic Swiss cheese. And we're not the only ones to sing this Gruyere's praises: it earned first place in the 2008 World Cheese Championship.
The source of this particular Gruyere's excellence is the old-school Swiss recipe that Gourmino painstakingly employs. Raw milk is taken once in the morning and once in the afternoon from very small herds of cow.
Gruyere is one of the rare cheeses that holds its flavor when melted, making it perfect for fondues and gratins. However, melting it would mean missing an opportunity to experience its delightfully supple texture. We recommend you try both.
