‘Margot’ unpasteurized cow's milk Swiss cheese GRUYERE RESERVE AOP, aged for 18 months, has a milky flavor, slightly salty, with fruity undertones. It is ivory-colored, with a pleasant texture, and is typically hole-free. Slightly moist, medium-firm, and not overly crumbly. Since it is aged quite long, its flavor is somewhat more intense than usual, and to appreciate every nuance, it is recommended to taste it alone. However, it pairs perfectly with salads, pasta, soups, sandwiches, and, of course, fondue. Gruyère cheese is produced in the Gruyère region of Switzerland. The production starts by heating milk to 34 °C in copper vats. When curds form, they are cut, then heated for some time at 43 °C, before being rapidly raised to 54 °C. The curds are then placed into special molds and pressed. Once the curds are salted, the aging process begins, which takes place in cellars. It has the AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée / Protected Designation of Origin) label, granted only to such products whose quality and characteristics depend exclusively on their origin, and whose name includes a geographic place name. All stages of product production (from raw material production to processing) must take place in that location.
