The hallmark of a great Swiss aged cheese: a hard cheese made from raw cow's milk Produced in Lucerne, Switzerland, this 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 wheels weighing approximately 6.5 kg, it is a centerpiece for the cut-to-order section of dairy shops, cheese shops, and gourmet specialty stores. Professional uses, preparation, and storage: ► Applications in dairy shops, restaurants, and catering: Presented sliced at the counter, Vieux Suisse appeals to lovers of distinctive cheeses. It is ideal for creating fine cheese platters, for cutting into sticks or chunks as an appetizer, and for grating fresh over hot dishes (gratin, risotto, gourmet pasta). Its crumbly texture and rich aroma add structure and a full-bodied flavor to catering dishes. ► Preparation: Cut with a blade or a two-handled knife, starting from the center and working toward the rind to preserve the wheel's appearance. To bring out 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
