Gruyère de France IGP is a classic French Alpine cheese, celebrated for its firm, supple texture and rich, nutty flavour. Produced in the Savoie and Franche-Comté regions, this cheese holds Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) status - the French equivalent of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) - ensuring it is made using traditional methods and high-quality raw cow’s milk from mountain pastures.
Aged for a minimum of 5 months, but often matured for up to 12 months, Gruyère de France develops a smooth, dense interior with the characteristic small, irregular holes formed naturally during its ageing process. The flavour profile is buttery and mildly sweet when young, deepening into complex, nutty, and caramelised notes with hints of hay and alpine flora as it matures. Longer-aged varieties also develop tiny, crunchy tyrosine crystals, a sign of excellent affinage (maturation).
Perfect for melting in fondues, gratins, and Croque Monsieur, Gruyère de France is also a delight on a cheeseboard, paired with crusty baguette, dried fruit, and charcuterie. It complements full-bodied white wines such as Chardonnay or a crisp Savoie Apremont, as well as light red wines from Burgundy or the Jura.
