AOP Gruyere cheese des grottes (cow milk) 16 to 20 months old - 160g - earthy and nutty taste

Gruyère is sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age.

It is often described as creamy and nutty when young, becoming more assertive, earthy, and complex as it matures. When fully aged (five months to a year) it tends to have small cracks which impart a slightly grainy texture.
