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.

Latteria Vecchio
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Latteria Vecchio is an incredibly popular choice for cheese and antipasto platters. Our artisan version has everything you expect from a well-matured, hard Italian cheese – notes of milk and herbs on the front palate and then a slightly savoury bite to finish with a whisper of fruitiness. Notes of salted caramel or butterscotch might be present in extra mature cheeses. The name ‘latteria’ is a variation on the Italian word for community dairy (latterie) and vecchio = old/matured.

Monte Veronese di Malga DOP Slow Food Presidio
This unique cheese has been matured for 3 years to create a dry, crumbly texture and a very sharp bite with fruity overtones. Some would describe the flavour as a cross between cheddar and parmesan – but this doesn’t quite do the cheese justice. Monte Veronese has its own unique charm and reflects the terroir of the grassy, alpine region where it is made (malga = mountain pastures). This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidia.
