l'Etivaz Gruyere AOP
| Place of Origin | Switzerland |
| Milk Type | Cow's Milk |
| Style | Alpine |
| Wine Pairing | A good Chardonnay (look to the Margaret River) or a light Pinot (we love Henschke's The Alan which is aptly floral and earthy). |
| Tasting Notes | Best practice AOC Gruyere handmade using Summer milk from cows that roam freely in the Swiss Alps. The curds are hand stirred in traditional copper vats over open fire in mountain chalets, resulting in cheese that is buttery, floral and richly nutty, with a superb granular texture. Keep it simple; all you need with this cheese is a knife. |
