The production of this cheese in its native land can be traced back to 1115 and continues nowadays according to a well-tried recipe in the village dairies.
Classic Gruyère using only milk from Alpine pasture fed cows.
Whilst the strict AOP regulations dictate production areas and methods, KÄSESWISS supply only cheese from small producers using local milk from grass fed animals. The brown natural pebbled rind encases a dense smooth interior with the occasional small pea sized hole formed by propionic bacteria and small horizontal fissures known as lenures.
It has a slightly condensed sweet, nutty flavour that lingers on the palate and crystalline texture that sparkles on the tongue.
