Gruyère - Cave Aged Wedge (PDO)
£33.14
Vat excluded
Gruyère - Cave Aged Wedge (PDO) is an exceptional, artisanal cheese, renowned for its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, guaranteeing that it is produced in the traditional regions of Switzerland under strict regulations. This cave-aged Gruyère has matured in natural caves for an extended period, developing a more intense flavour profile compared to its younger counterparts. The ageing process creates a robust, nutty taste with hints of earthiness and a slightly crystalline texture due to the development of amino acids.
The cave environment provides the perfect conditions for the cheese to develop its complex flavours, with the rind becoming firm and the interior maintaining a smooth, dense texture. This wedge is ideal for enjoying on a cheese board, paired with fruits, charcuterie, or incorporated into gourmet recipes like quiches, gratin, or fondue.
Gruyère represents the pinnacle of Swiss cheesemaking, offering a deeper, more sophisticated flavour that cheese connoisseurs will appreciate, especially when looking for a more intense and mature cheese experience.
