Gruyère AOP Alpage & What to expect at the French Festival in Melbourne – November News
Alpage cheese is made only in the summer months when the cows graze high up in the alpine pastures. Discover our newly arrived 2016 Gruyère AOP Alpage straight from the Swiss mountains.
The Gruyère AOP Alpage is produced in two different areas within the Gruyère region in Switzerland. One in is situated in the Fribourg alps and the other in the Jura mountains. Both productions are unique in the case that they produce high up in the alps where cows can only graze during the summer months. This high altitude grass is lush and bursting with a great variety of herbs and flowers leading to superior milk.
Once the approximately 30kg wheels are made, they are then carefully cared for during the entire maturation. The Gruyère AOP Alpage is definitely a true delight on any cheese board. Discover our 12-months matured, Gruyère AOP Alpage at a retailer near you now. (Note: not all listed retailers may carry this item. Any retailer can purchase it through our distributor, Cheese Culture though).

16 April is International Raw Milk Cheese Appreciation Day
Have you ever wondered exactly why raw milk cheese is so important? Have you ever asked yourself why so many of the world’s most famous cheeses (Comté, Swiss Gruyère, Parmigiano-Reggiano, to name a few) are legally required to be made from raw milk?
Raw Milk Cheese Appreciation Day is your chance to find out what makes these cheeses truly extraordinary. The Oldways Cheese Coalition and the Guilde Internationale des Fromagers are teaming up on Saturday, April 16, 2016, for a worldwide celebration of raw-milk cheese.
The Red Cow is certainly part of this day as we’re Australia’s premier importer of artisan raw milk cheese. Our Sélection Rolf Beeler range including top sellers like the Gruyeère, Toggenburger or Vacherin Fribourgeois are all made from untreated milk so are other cheese we import such as the Milchzapfen, Tête de Moine or Bachtelstein.
So treat yourself with one of these fabulous cheeses from your favourite retailer or from our hand crafted Alpine Express Cheese Box and celebrate the day with us!
