Le Gruyère AOP KALTBACH

The greatest pleasure lies in the anticipation, as the saying goes. It could hardly be greater during the 12-month aging period of our KALTBACH Le Gruyère AOP. After all, this classic is produced in our sandstone Cave under the watchful eye of our Cavemasters, allowing it to develop its fruity tanginess. Its rustic, lightbrown rind forms and the fine, crunchy salt crystals mature in its tender mass. A supreme taste experience.
