The hallmark of a great Swiss aged cheese: a hard cheese made from raw cow's milk.
Produced in Switzerland, Vieux Suisse is an exceptional hard cheese made exclusively from raw cow's milk of Swiss origin. 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. Available in an eighth of a wheel weighing approximately 800 g, this portioned size offers maximum flexibility, ideal for quick restocking, controlled sales volume, and optimal freshness when sliced.
Professional uses, preparation, and storage:
► Applications in dairy shops, restaurants, and catering: This portioned eighth-wheel format fits perfectly into the daily rotation of your fine cheese platters or your counter-cut offerings. It allows for quick and easy cutting into chunks for your appetizers and tasting boards, or direct use in the kitchen for fresh grating over your hot dishes (gratin, risotto, gourmet pasta). Its crumbly texture and intense aroma add character to all your creations.
► Preparation: Easily slice with a knife from the center to the rind. To fully appreciate the richness of its aromas and the texture of its paste, it is recommended to remove the cheese from the refrigerator about 30 to 45 minutes before 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. Carefully wrap the opened slice in suitable plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out in the refrigerator.
