Grand Reserve is a cheese that has been matured for an average of eight months. It crumbles in the mouth and charms with its strong, refined taste. It is a beautiful yellow cheese in color. Its surface is regularly brushed with brine during maturation to develop a thick, crispbread-like crust. The flavor reveals soft nutty, vanilla and creamy nuances. The prototype of Grand Reserve is Gruyere, whose name is protected only for cheeses made in Switzerland.
Juustoportti's specialty cheeses, which are matured for a long time, are made by hand in the showcase cheese dairy at the Jalasjärvi service station. There is also a genuine cheese cellar in the same courtyard where these specialty cheeses made from Finnish milk are matured. These specialty cheeses are particularly suited for the cheese tray and can be enthusiastically enjoyed as they are, straight from the box. In cooking and baking, specialty cheeses add flavour and richness. Go ahead and experiment to find your own favourite.
