EMMI: Le Gruyere Cheese, 5.3 oz

Emmi is the leading producer of authentic Swiss cheese, working closely with local farmers to ensure every wedge of Le Gruyère meets the strictest AOP standards. This variety is made from the highest-quality unpasteurized milk, which is copper-vat heated and then pressed into massive 80-pound wheels. These wheels are aged for a minimum of 5 months in climate-controlled cellars, where they are regularly turned and brined with salt water to develop a natural, rusty-brown rind and a dense, straw-colored paste. The 5.3 oz wedge is a convenient "table-sized" portion, vacuum-sealed to preserve the moisture and the delicate, crystalline texture that develops during the aging process. Because of its high protein and fat balance, Le Gruyère is the gold standard for culinary applications; it melts without becoming oily, making it the essential base for authentic Quiche Lorraine, French Onion Soup, and classic cheese fondue. Whether shaved over a salad, paired with a crisp white wine, or enjoyed on a rustic cracker, Emmi delivers a professional-grade taste of the Swiss Alps.
