| 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 115 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 impervious territory, five dairies founded the Gourmino in Langnau, Switzerland, in the Valley of Emme, with the intention of
joining forces to market their products.
Gourmino deals with the entire supply chain: from milk production to cheese processing and maturing.
Milk is harvested only by local breeders, who run their dairies from generation to generation in total respect of nature and animals.
They also have chosen not to use silage in order to obtain high quality milk.
Cheese production takes place in small farm cheese factories, which still work in the artisanal way, often producing the ferments needed for
processing in the same dairy, with a logic very far from that of the large industries dominating the Swiss cheese market.
The cheeses are brought to the maturing premises at Langnau where affinage takes place.
A short supply chain, to guarantee the quality of cheeses and to preserve the centuries-old tradition of this region of Switzerland.
