Gruyère de France IGP is a classic French Alpine cheese, known for its rich, nutty flavour and smooth, firm texture. 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 crafted using high-quality raw cow’s milk from mountain pastures and aged under strict traditional methods.

This King Cut Block is a versatile, easy-to-use format, ideal for professional kitchens, delicatessens, and home cooks looking for premium-quality Gruyère in a convenient cut. Aged for a minimum of 5 months, it offers a supple, dense texture with a flavour that starts mild and creamy when young, developing into a deep, nutty, and slightly caramelised profile with hints of hay, butter, and toasted hazelnuts as it matures. Some older variations also feature tiny, crunchy tyrosine crystals, a mark of expert affinage.

Perfect for melting into fondues, gratins, Croque Monsieur, or gourmet sauces, this King Cut Block makes Gruyère de France accessible for slicing, grating, or cooking in large quantities. It also shines on a cheeseboard, paired with crusty baguette, charcuterie, and dried fruits. This cheese pairs beautifully with Chardonnay, Jura whites, or a light Pinot Noir, complementing its buttery, nutty complexity.

At Cheesemongery.com, we source only authentic Gruyère de France IGP, ensuring its provenance, exceptional quality, and traditional craftsmanship. Whether for professional use or gourmet home cooking, this King Cut Block is a must-have - order yours today.
