The hallmark of fine Swiss aging: a hard cheese made from raw cow's milk. Produced in Switzerland, this Vieux Suisse is an exceptional hard cheese made exclusively from raw Swiss cow's milk. Thanks to its extended aging period (between 200 and 390 days), it develops a dry, crumbly, and slightly sandy texture. Beneath its natural, deep brown rind, marked by the passage of time, its light yellow interior reveals aromatic, full-bodied aromas and a harmonious flavor of beautiful complexity. Offered in quarter-wheel portions weighing approximately 1.625 kg, this compact and ergonomic format makes slicing easier, optimizes inventory turnover, and minimizes the exposure of the sliced surface. Professional uses, preparation, and storage: ► Applications in cheese shops, restaurants, and catering: Presented sliced at the counter, Vieux Suisse appeals to lovers of distinctive cheeses. This quarter-wheel size offers excellent versatility for assembling fine cheese platters, for quickly cutting into sticks or chunks for appetizers, and for grating fresh onto hot dishes (gratin, risotto, gourmet pasta). Its crumbly texture and rich aroma add structure and a full-bodied flavor to your catering offerings. ► Preparation: Cut with a knife from the center toward the rind. To reveal the full range of flavors in the cheese, it is recommended to remove it from the refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes before tasting or serving. Note: The rind is not edible. ► Storage: A fresh, aged cheese to be stored at a controlled temperature between +4°C and +8°C. Cover the cut surface with suitable plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out in the cold. Location in store: Atelier BOF
