Le Gruyère AOP Wins World Champion Cheese in Record-Breaking Year for Swiss Entries

A classic Le Gruyère AOP from Switzerland was named best cheese on the planet while competing on home soil at the 37^th World Cheese Awards (WCA) in Bern.

The 18-month Gruyère AOP Vorderfultigen Spezial produced by Bergkäserei Vorderfultigen took the World Champion title at the final stage of the Awards, with the judging panel hailing its crystalline texture and its “brothy, umami” flavor.

This is the sixth time in WCA history that a Le Gruyère AOP has won the top honor.
