Le Gruyere

oil on wood, 8x8"

Le Gruyere, original artwork by Mike Geno

I was glad to get a half a wheel of this fortune of cheese to paint for the Emmi Roth USA calender series they commissioned. The Kaltbach Le Gruyère AOP is made from recipes dating back to 1155 AD and they certainly have perfected it. Le Gruyère is wonderfully robust, sweet and balanced with a fruity flavor that is just pure pleasure. This cheese is history in the eating.

Only the best cheeses are selected for the Kaltbach Caves, arriving at the age of 3 months and spending another 9 in the sandstone caves' unique conditions. Pure perfection.
