Product Information
Gruyère is well known as one of Switzerland’s most popular cheeses. Gruyere de Grotte is a special cave-aged Swiss Gruyere. Matured in limestone caves in the Swiss Alps and matured for 13months, with the longer ripening period the cheese develops a rustic, more robust flavour than traditional Gruyère. As the rind is washed in brine during the maturing process, the brown colour is darker than its young brother. The pale coloured paste is dotted with white crystals with a creamy, nutty flavour.

Morbidi Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.
