Roth Grand Cru Surchoix
Roth Grand Cru Surchoix is an Alpine-style, washed-rind, raw cow’s milk cheese. Handmade in small batches in Wisconsin, its recipe is similar to that of the Swiss Le Gruyere. The original wheels are four months, and reserve wheels are aged for at least 12 months resulting in this luscious cheese with a creamy paste and crunchy crystals. Its flavor is buttery with a meaty richness and an extraordinary nutty, mushroomy flavor. Won best in Show at the World Cheese Championship in 2016
Roth Cheese, part of Emmi Roth USA, has a long, storied history in cheesemaking. In 1865 Oswald Roth began exporting cheese from Switzerland to the United States. In 1911, his son Otto began a Swiss cheese import company in New York City. Then, in 1989, the original Swiss producer became Roth Kase AG, and in 1990, Roth Kase USA is founded in Monroe, Wisconsin. They installed the first copper vats for producing Alpine cheese in the United States. They also reintroduced wood boards as a vehicle for aging cheeses.
Just like Champagne can only be made in the Champagne region of France, Gruyere can only be made in the Gruyere region of Switzerland. Grand Cru is an Alpine-style classic cheese in the same category as the time-honored Gruyere. Grand Cru Surchoix is made with the freshest milk in imported copper vats and aged in Roth Cheese’s cellars for at least 4 months. Robust and full-bodied, this award-winning cheese melts beautifully to become a cook’s best friend.
Pairing suggestions: Apple cider, Applewood Smoked crackers, cornichons (pickled gherkins), Simple & Crisp fruit crisps.
