Cave Aged Gruyere... The Big Melt


Cave Aged Gruyere

The longer it sits in the Cave, the better it gets...

8 months to 12 months aging necessary for this version of me. Gruyere is a cow's milk cheese named after a village in Switzerland with origins reaching back to 1655. This is the real deal people. This is cheese kings were eating. That alone should make you want to run down to your local cheesemonger.


Gruyere is most known for the ability to melt. Did someone say fondue?!! Gruyere can be baked into an assortment of pies or cakes to give them that full flavor and sustainable long lasting taste. Pair Gruyere with a strong stout beer and a good hard crusted loaf of bread. In essence, true eating.

Super tip: Want to visit Disneyland with your taste buds? Try a spring Gruyere paired with a good honey.

  1. Sounds delectable. I love good cheese on it's own, but often am not sure how to incorporate it into recipes. Can you tell me what type of recipes this type of cheese works well with, if any?
