Gruyère AOP Alpage is a traditional Swiss cheese made from raw cow's milk, produced exclusively in mountain pastures during the summer months. The term "Alpage" refers to the practice of making cheese in alpine chalets, where cows graze on fresh, high-altitude grasses and herbs, which gives the cheese its rich, complex flavor.
Gruyère AOP Alpage has a firm, dense texture and a slightly nutty, fruity taste, often with a hint of caramel. It's aged for several months, developing a distinctively deep and aromatic profile that sets it apart from regular Gruyère cheese.
