The Overall World Champion: Gruyère AOP 18 Months
The Overall World Champion: Gruyère AOP 18 Months
This year’s Supreme Champion was a spectacular Gruyère AOP 18 months from Vorderfultigen – a wheel praised for its perfect balance of sweetness, roasted nuttiness, depth and a long, elegant finish.
While we do not carry this specific wheel, we are proud to offer a remarkably similar alternative: Selection Rolf Beeler Gruyère AOP 18 months – matured by Switzerland’s most renowned affineur and celebrated for its intense, nutty, beautifully balanced flavour.
