Le Gruyère AOP: the king of Swiss cheeses worldwide known for its powerful flavor.

The king of Swiss cheeses is known worldwide for its powerful flavor and pronounced aroma with fruity touches that vary according to the area and time of production. Originally from the Gruyère region, in the Pre-Alps, this cheese has been manufactured since 1115 and has been the subject of many imitations. Producers of milk, cheese makers and ripeners fought for decades to only consider as Gruyère the cheese produced in Western Switzerland. The EU recognized this identity with the Denomination of Origin in 2010.
Switzerland Cheese Marketing, SL Spain, headquartered in Bern, is responsible for the promotion of Swiss Cheese in the Spanish and Portuguese markets. There are 430 varieties of cheese in Switzerland: in Spain we find Appenzeller®, Emmentaler AOP, Le Gruyère AOP, L'Etivaz AOP, Sbrinz AOP, Tête de Moine AOP and Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP. Swiss cheese does not use additives in its production, they are 100% natural, they are high in calcium and they are suitable for celiacs and lactose intolerant.
