  • The character of this superior cheese is due to its specific production methods, which, in accordance with AOC requirements, remain true to the original recipe and follow timehonored techniques. Gruyère AOC is prepared from the finest fresh milk from cows fed on grass during the summer and hay during the winter. The use of any additives is prohibited. After two or three months’ maturation, the Gruyère AOC wheels arrive at the Mifroma caverns from local village dairies. The cheese is then ripened over several months in sandstone caves that benefit from 96% humidity and a constant temperature of 55.4° F. It is in this exceptional environment that Gruyère AOC acquires its succulent character. During the five-month maturation period, the cheese rounds are regularly turned and brushed with salt water. These proven methods, an extended aging process and the great care given to this majestic product confer Gruyère AOC its incomparable flavor.
