WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Rich, strong, nutty and earthy, wonderfully complex, with a thick dark rind and smooth yellow paste.

WHERE IT COMES FROM: Another in the Alpine Gruyère family, this time from the Swiss side of the Jura Mountains. Matured for between 18 and 24 months, this is one of our favourite cheeses as it beautifully represents what a Gruyère should be. Four hundred litres of raw milk from Red Holstein and Montbéliarde cows goes into a single 35kg wheel of cheese. Affinage by Hugonin.
