Description

Grand Cru Reserve cheese

Roth Cheese, part of Emmi Roth USA, has a long, storied history in cheesemaking.  In fact, 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 becomes 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 is made with the freshest milk in imported copper vats and aged in Roth Cheese’s cellars for varying time periods, depending on the type. Robust and full-bodied, this award-winning cheese melts beautifully to become a cook’s best friend.

Pairing suggestions: Fruit jam, mostarda, apricots (fresh, dried, or preserved), a Riesling wine, Bock beer or an IPA
