Product Information
In the 1930s a group of Gruyère makers formed their own co-operative to make L’Etivaz, named for the tiny village around which they all lived. It is made in the style of traditional artisan Gruyère and protected by appellation law which states it can only be made by hand in a copper cauldron with raw milk from cows grazing on Summer alpine pastures (May – October only). L’Etivaz has a rich, nutty flavour with hints of dried fruit, grassy meadows and melted butter. The flavour is round and long-lasting and will be subtly different from wheel to wheel – a true reflection of terroir.

Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

Infossato Pecorino Casa Madaio
Infossato is matured in a pit in the ground lined with hay and ferns – an ancient practice through-out central and southern Italy. Over time the cheese develops a sharp sweet/savoury bite, a deep golden colour and firm, crumbly texture. Ideal for anyone who likes a full-flavoured pecorino with some bite – but not too salty. A great choice for antipasti platters or shaving into salads and onto woodfired pizza. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.

Occelli al Barolo
Cheese royalty meets wine royalty – once you taste this cheese you will be hooked! Full flavoured ‘testun’ cheeses are coated with the pressed grapes used to make Barolo wine – the flavours of the cheese and grapes mingle together to create a flavour that is bitey, creamy, sweet, winey, buttery and sharp all at once (testun loosely translates to ‘hard-headed’, referring to the texture of the cheese). Once you cut through the coating of crushed grapes, the texture is flaky and melt-in-your mouth soft.
