417137
This piece is a portion (1/20 of a wheel) of Emmental Français Est Central IGP Grand Cru Label Rouge, weighing approximately 4kg, marketed by ERMITAGE. It is a pressed cooked cheese made from raw cow's milk selected from the IGP collection area in Franche-Comté (Origin France). The dual IGP and Label Rouge certification guarantees superior quality: traditional maturing for a minimum of 12 weeks in the open air (up to a maximum of 38 weeks), a beautiful uniform rind and an ivory-coloured paste with shiny "eyes" (holes). It is distinguished by its firm, fine and supple texture and its fruity, clean taste.
Professional culinary uses:
Emmental Grand Cru is an exceptional cheese with multiple uses:

► Hot dishes: Essential for gratins, fondues, quiches and soufflés. Its superior ripening gives it a better melting capacity and a richer flavour than standard Emmental.
► Cold cuts: Ideal for sandwiches, platters, mixed salads or even high-quality appetisers.
