Alpage cheese is made only in the summer months when the cows graze high up in the alpine pastures. Discover our newly arrived 2016 Gruyère AOP Alpage straight from the Swiss mountains.
The Gruyère AOP Alpage is produced in two different areas within the Gruyère region in Switzerland. One in is situated in the Fribourg alps and the other in the Jura mountains. Both productions are unique in the case that they produce high up in the alps where cows can only graze during the summer months. This high altitude grass is lush and bursting with a great variety of herbs and flowers leading to superior milk.
Once the approximately 30kg wheels are made, they are then carefully cared for during the entire maturation. The Gruyère AOP Alpage is definitely a true delight on any cheese board. Discover our 12-months matured, Gruyère AOP Alpage at a retailer near you now. (Note: not all listed retailers may carry this item. Any retailer can purchase it through our distributor, Cheese Culture though).
