Le Gruyère AOP

Le Gruyère AOP is a type of Swiss cheese known for its rich, creamy flavour and golden colour. “AOP” stands for “Appellation d’Origine Protégée,” a European certification that ensures the cheese is made according to traditional methods and within a specific geographic area in western Switzerland. Le Gruyère AOP is made from unpasteurised, raw cow’s milk and is aged anywhere from six to twenty-eight months, during which time it develops a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a smooth, velvety texture. It’s a popular ingredient in many dishes, including fondue, and is often grated over pasta, salads, and soups.
