Gruyère Vieux is aged for a minimum 18 months. Its flavour will reflect the milk of the season, sweet and herby in Spring and Summer to more savoury and salty in the Autumn and Winter. There is a scattering of crunchy crystals through the cheese, a sign of a classic mature Gruyère. 

The classic. Selected from a single cheesemaker. Rounded flavour with fabulous depth and light crystallisation.

After crossing the Surenen pass during my attempt at the Swiss Alpine Pass Route, I came upon a sign saying "Alp Käse". Not being the type of person who can walk past cheese, (especially after walking 8 hours that day), I stopped to make a purchase and have a look around the dairy. The Raclette that we ate later that night when we returned to Zürich took me by surprise. Here was a cheese that was delicate, with the flavours of Alpine grasses bursting through and a milky sweetness that spoke of the environment of where it came from.
