Le Gruyère AOPLe Gruyère
Le Gruyère is a large raw-milk cheese from cows fed no silage, made in open copper vats with the dairy's own whey cultures and rennet. The curd is cooked to 54–59 °C, pressed into wheels of 25–40 kg, brined, and ripened at least five months on spruce boards, where the rind is smeared and turns brown. Made in 7 steps over 5.1 months. The longest step, ripen on spruce boards with a smeared rind, takes at least 5 months (Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture 1999) and runs at 12–18 °C (Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture 1999). Lactobacillus helveticus from the natural whey culture, several strains that persist through 6 months of ripening and Smear (morge) bacteria on the rind, which with the lactic bacteria give the fruity taste do most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedThe specification fixes limits, not a recipe. Open copper vats hold at most 6000 l; a wheel is 9.5–12 cm high and weighs 25–40 kg.

What makes this one different
Gruyère is cooked hotter than most Alpine cheeses, at 54–59 °C, and made only with the dairy's own whey cultures from raw milk that is never cooled below 15 °C. Unlike Emmentaler it is not warmed to grow big eyes; it ripens at least five months with a smeared rind on spruce.
Milk
Raw milk from cows fed no silage, delivered twice a day from within 20 km, never cooled below 15 °C
Setting
In open copper vats of up to 6000 l, within 18 h of the oldest milking, with house cultures and rennet
Cooking
54–59 °C
Ripening
At least 5 months at 12–18 °C on unplaned spruce boards in humid cellars
Size
25–40 kg, 9.5–12 cm high; fat in dry matter 49–53%; water 34.5–36.9%; smeared, grainy brown rind
Gruyère is a raw-milk cheese, but as a cooked pressed cheese it is the exception in the ANSES advice to pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity, who are told to avoid other raw-milk cheeses.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (raw-milk risks named by ANSES; cooked pressed cheeses such as Gruyère are the exception to its advice).
The founding charter of the Cluniac priory of Rougemont, in the County of Gruyère, mentions pressed cooked cheese in 1115, and the crane appears in Count Rodolphe III's arms in 1221. Gruyères had a dairy market by the mid-14th century, and in 1762 the Académie française defined the word as a cheese made in Gruyère.
