Description
Organic French Gruyère IGP is one of France’s great mountain cheeses, produced in the traditional cheesemaking regions of eastern France from certified organic raw cow’s milk. Protected by IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) status, it reflects generations of Alpine cheesemaking expertise while preserving the unique identity and regional character of authentic French Gruyère.
Produced using fresh organic raw milk collected from farms located within the protected geographical production area, the cheese is crafted according to traditional methods before undergoing a minimum maturation of 120 days. During this extended ageing period, the texture gradually becomes firm yet supple while its flavour develops increasing depth and refinement.
The finished cheese offers an elegant balance of buttery richness, fresh dairy sweetness, ripe fruit notes, and delicate roasted hazelnut aromas. As maturation continues, these flavours become more concentrated, creating a remarkably versatile mountain cheese appreciated by both cheese specialists and professional chefs.
Organic French Gruyère is renowned for its excellent slicing, grating, and melting performance. It performs beautifully on premium cheese boards while also excelling in classic Alpine cuisine including gratins, fondue, croque-monsieur, quiches, soufflés, pasta, risotto, gourmet sandwiches, bakery products, and premium ready-meals. Its smooth melting characteristics and refined flavour also make it highly valued by food manufacturers and industrial processors seeking authentic French ingredients.
The 45kg whole wheel has been developed for professional buyers requiring maximum flexibility. Cheese wholesalers and affineurs can continue maturation according to their own specifications, while cheese specialists, gourmet retailers, hotels, restaurants, and manufacturers benefit from outstanding cutting yield and consistent product quality.
