LE GRUYÈRE®

Le Gruyère has been crafted since the 12th century using the same recipe. Today more than 160 creameries in small villages throughout a designated area in Switzerland carry on this same tradition. Not only do farmers feed their cows a naturally sustainable diet of pasture grass in the summer and hay in the winter. Our cheesemakers also incorporate only the freshest milk supplied twice a day from nearby farms. We then craft exclusively in copper vats to impart a unique, complex character that connoisseurs crave.
