Gruyère AOP 1655 is made with raw milk from cattle fed solely on natural pastures and fodder, with no added preservatives. Its secret lies in the ancestral know-how of the ripener and the addition of very rare mountain salt which has been produced in the Bex salt mines, extracted using pure water from the glacier of Les Diablerets. This alchemy creates an exceptional cheese with a naturally fruity taste, enhanced by more or less pronounced hints of flavor which vary according to the local soil.
1655, a year which completely changed the face of traditional cheesemaking. A famous hard cheese, which had been made from time immemorial, was given the name of its region of origin, a lasting symbol of its sovereign-class quality: gruière (now Gruyère).
