| Description | Raw cow's milk |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is brown while the paste is straw coloured, compact and without eyes; it presents some crystals due to maturation |
| Taste | Well defined and aromatic, long maturation expresses the most elegant organoleptic characteristics of this cheese: exotic fruit notes and gentle spicy hints give a unique experience |
| Maturing | At least 12 months |
| Curiosity | Prodotto fin dal 1115 nella cittadina di Gruyeres, viene realizzato ancora oggi nei caseifici dei paesini della Svizzera romanda, secondo la ricetta tradizionale. Per produrre una forma da 35 kg sono necessari circa 400 litri di latte |
| Our selection | Abbiamo scelto questa selezione di Gruyère stagionato 12 mesi perchè esprime al meglio le eleganti carattaristiche di gusto di questo rinomato formaggio svizzero. E' prodotto dal caseificio di montagna Fritzenhaus, dove Michael e la moglie Monika lavorano 50 quintali di latte, la metà destinati alla produzione di Gruyère. I 12 produttori di latte si trovano tutti nel raggio di 4 km intorno al caseificio. E' stagionato nel bunker di Gourmino a 250 metri sotto terra. Il produttore Michael Spicher ha vinto per il 2018 il premio di miglior Gruyère del mondo |

The producer
Gourmino - Langnau - Switzerland
Why we chose them
In 2001, in a rather inaccessible area in the village of Langnau in Switzerland, in the Emme Valley, five dairies founded Gourmino with the intention
of joining forces to market their products. The cheeses are produced in small rural dairies that still process local milk using traditional methods, often
self-producing the starters needed for the production: an approach that is very different from that of the large industries that dominate the Swiss
cheese market. The cheeses are taken to the maturing rooms in Langnau where they are refined. This short supply chain is essential to guarantee
the quality of the cheeses and preserve the centuries-old cheese-making tradition of this region of Switzerland.
