Firm, assertive, and nutty, this classic Cave-Aged Gruyère has a supple texture and a sweet aroma of hazelnut and brown butter due to the diverse diet of mountain grasses the cows graze. With a paste that melts easily and a depth of flavor that has undertones of stone fruit and savory, beefy notes, this Alpine cheese is perfect for adding dimension to a classic grilled cheese - especially when paired with crunchy cornichons and French Onion Confit.
“I love our Gruyère. It’s a smooth, creamy, nutty cheese with a hint of oniony funk that I love on a cheeseboard or melted into an amazing grilled cheese. Pair it with Pistachio Cream for a little bite of heaven.”

- Cheesemaking history in Gruyères, Switzerland, dates back to the 12th century. The 1992 Charter of Gruyère distinguished the Swiss cantons (regions) of Fribourg and Berne as official producers of Gruyère cheese.
- Gruyère is protected by AOP designation (Appellation d'Origine Protégée), and is made according to strict regulations that protect its quality and historical significance. For example, to this day, Gruyere must be made in traditional copper vats, prized for their antimicrobial properties and the flavors they impart to the cheese.
- We source our Gruyère from a single dairy we identified as the best Gruyère maker in Switzerland, after extensive vetting and taste testing. This single sourcing ensures consistent quality and flavor in each batch. After a brief respite in on-site cellars at the creamery, Murray’s Gruyère is aged in an affinage facility built directly into sandstone cliffs that help control the temperature and humidity in the aging environment.
- In both facilities, the Gruyère receives regular care from robots designed to manage the back-breaking task of flipping & rubbing these 80-lb wheels on a regular basis, to ensure even aging and integrity of the rind.
