Emmi Le Gruyère AOP cheese

Le Gruyère AOP is a world-renowned hard cheese with deep historical roots in the Cantons of Fribourg, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Jura, and Berne in Switzerland. This specific product is manufactured in Switzerland by local dairies following strict Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) guidelines, ensuring it is made only with raw cow's milk from cows fed on grass and hay.

The global distribution and branding of this product are managed by Emmi Group, Switzerland's largest dairy processor. Founded in 1907 as a federation of dairy cooperatives, Emmi has grown into an international entity specializing in premium Swiss dairy exports. The ultimate owner is the Cooperative of Central Swiss Milk Producers (ZMP), which holds a majority stake, ensuring the brand remains under the stewardship of Swiss dairy farmers.
