Nowadays, however, the production has spread a little wider, although the cheese is still made in village dairies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGruyere must be made in Switzerland due to its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is made using knowledge that has been handed down through the generations. However, the French are in the habit of calling their Emmental under the name Gruyere, as is the case with a number of similar style, cooked cheeses like Comte and Beaufort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Gruyere Premier Cru is aged for a minimum of 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGruyere comes in the shape of a wheel that weighs 30kg and should have a clean, even coloured, brown and grainy rind. The best Gruyere can have small holes in the body of the cheese, around 4-6mm in size but these are not indispensable. It should be slightly soft and waxy in texture with an attractive ivory colour that can vary with the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnpasteurised Cows milk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAge: 12 months+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrength: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardness: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin: Switzerland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eTypical Values per 100g\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy kJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1699\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e399\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eof which saturates (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrates (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eof which sugars (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt (g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage: Keep Refrigerated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePackage type: Vac Pack Bag, Wax Paper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIngredients: Raw Cows Milk, Salt, Starter Cultures, Animal Rennet, Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllergen Information: Milk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTasting notes: Strong, full, round, mildly salty, fine texture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing suggestions: Pre-packed and wrapped in wax paper, once you've opened your cheese, be sure to re-wrap in the wax paper to allow your cheese to breathe.
