The Gourmino Le Gruyère AOP, made by Michael Spycher of Mountain Dairy Fritzenhaus for Gourmino AG, scored a 98.81 out of 100 and beat out a record-breakingother entries. It’s a cow’s milk cheese with a “subtle, sophisticated flavor” that’s been produced for the past 900 years in the region surrounding the town of Gruyère. Spycher, who also won the competition in 2008, still uses the traditional recipe and ripens the cheese in mountain caves for up to 24 months.
A Gallus Grand Cru from Switzerland was the first-runner up with a close score of 98.70, and the Netherlands earned second runner-up with a Lutjewiinkel Noord Hollandse Gouda PDO. Although the U.S. didn’t place in the top three this year, it did rack up an impressive gold medal count, earning medals in 90 of the 132 contests classes, according to the announcement.
