Description
Organic French Gruyère IGP 1/12 Wheel offers the authentic character of one of France’s most celebrated mountain cheeses in a practical professional format. Produced in eastern France from certified organic raw cow’s milk, this traditional Gruyère is protected by IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) status, guaranteeing its protected geographical origin and traditional production methods.
Crafted exclusively from organic milk collected within the recognised production region, each cheese is matured for a minimum of 120 days. During this extended ageing period, the cheese develops a firm yet supple texture together with elegant buttery richness, fresh dairy sweetness, ripe fruit aromas, roasted hazelnut notes, and the refined complexity that defines authentic French mountain Gruyère.
The 1/12 wheel format has been developed specifically for professional buyers seeking the visual appeal and quality of a traditional wheel while reducing handling and cutting requirements. It provides an excellent presentation for premium cheese counters while maintaining optimum freshness and reducing waste compared with cutting directly from larger wheels.
Organic French Gruyère is renowned for its exceptional versatility. Its firm texture allows clean slicing for retail presentation and cheese boards, while its outstanding melting performance makes it ideal for gratins, quiches, pasta, risotto, pizzas, croque-monsieur, gourmet sandwiches, bakery products, and premium prepared foods. The balanced flavour profile allows it to perform equally well as both a table cheese and a cooking ingredient.
The 3.8kg professional portion is particularly suited to cheese specialists, gourmet supermarkets, delicatessens, hotels, restaurants, premium retailers, and foodservice distributors seeking authentic French mountain cheese in a manageable retail format.
Produced from certified organic raw cow’s milk and protected by IGP designation, Organic French Gruyère guarantees authentic French origin, traditional Alpine cheesemaking, and internationally recognised quality. These certifications make it an outstanding product for premium export markets where authentic regional cheeses continue to command strong consumer demand.
