Taste.
Gruyere cheese owes its subtlery and characteristic taste to the best quality unpasteurised milk coming from cows fed on grass on the high alpine pastures during the summer months and hay during the winter. Apart from the high quality of the raw milk, the know howof the master cheese maker and of the person in charge of the maturing process gives the special touch to the final product.
No less than 400 litres of fresh milk are required to produce one round of cheese weighing about 35 kilos.
During the slow maturing stage which lasts several months the wheels of cheese are regularly turned over and brushed with salted water. The humidity encourages the appearance of cheese "smear" which is an essential agent of the rind to help in the maturation process of the cheese.
The PREMIER CRU by Von Muhlenen is caved aged for over 14 months before being passed for sale, And the great care and artistry taken over its production has rewarded this Gruyere with the WORLD CHAMPION title in 1992 & 2002 & 2005 and has von many Gold medals in competitions all over the world.
