Cave-aged Gruyère is a traditional Swiss cheese that undergoes a unique aging process, where it’s matured in natural caves for several months to years. This time-honored method allows the cheese to develop a deeper, more complex flavor profile. During its aging, the cheese absorbs the cool, humid air of the cave, enhancing its texture and intensifying its taste.
The resulting Gruyère is rich and nutty, with a slightly savory, earthy depth that’s balanced by subtle hints of sweetness. The texture is firm yet creamy, often speckled with small crystalline pockets, which provide a delightful crunch. Cave-aged Gruyère’s complexity is greater than its younger counterparts, boasting layers of flavors that evolve with each bite—from buttery and slightly fruity to more robust and tangy notes as it ages.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
