Making Gruyre in the Swiss Alps for Centuries

Alexandre Muriths family has been making gruyre dalpage in Switzerland for five generations, and there is an art to producing this cheese with a hard texture and no holes. While regular gruyre is made year-round, gruyre dalpage is only made from May through October. Thats when the cows are allowed to graze freely in the mountains, nibbling on wildflowers. Once the cows are milked, the Murith familys gruyre dalpage is made in a traditional manner with no processing, and each wheel is aged for several months. Join us in the Swiss Alps for a lesson in cheesemaking.
