Affineur Walo Le Gruyère AOP Extra Mature

Affineur Walo Le Gruyère AOP Extra Mature is an exceptional Swiss hard cheese made from raw cow's milk, offering a dense, silky texture with crunchy protein crystals and an intensely rich, complex flavour. Expertly matured by renowned affineur Walo von Mühlenen for a minimum of 14 months, it develops elegant aromas of meadow flowers and dried fruit, alongside deep savoury notes and a long, beautifully balanced finish.

Produced in the Gruyère AOP region of Switzerland using traditional cheesemaking methods, each wheel is carefully aged in Walo's warm, humid cellars where the unique maturation conditions encourage exceptional depth of flavour and texture. Regular turning and meticulous care throughout the ageing process allow the cheese to retain its moisture while developing its signature crystalline texture and remarkable complexity, creating one of Switzerland's finest examples of mature Gruyère.

Pair it with crusty sourdough, dried fruits or caramelised walnuts to complement its rich, nutty character. It is equally delicious grated over French onion soup, stirred into fondue, or served on a cheeseboard with charcuterie and a glass of full-bodied white wine or Pinot Noir.
