Product Details

Location

This Gruyère is produced in Switzerland, in the mountains of Swiss Jura, by the Von Mühlenen family.

Tasting

This flavour is bold, sweet, and balanced with floral and fruity notes. Its silky texture is contrasted with crunchy crystals. The round flavour is achieved through 14 months of cave aging, followed by maturation time in natural cellars.

Pairing

Accentuate the floral and fruit flavours with Rosebud preserves, fruit jams, honey, or fruit like apples or dried apricots. Add Cherry Almond Linseed Toasts, for a sweet and savoury pairing. Nuts such as almonds or hazelnuts add a crunchy, salty contrast. Consider pairing this with an earthy Pinot Noir, with notes of cherry, red fruits, mushrooms, and forest floor. Or consider an acidic white wine that will cut through the richness of the cheese, such as Loire Valley Sauvignon, Riesling, or a wine from Alsace, France.
