The best cheese in the world has been named.
A gruyère from Switzerland was chosen by a panel of judges in the 2022 edition of the World Cheese Awards.
Judges described the Le Gruyère AOP surchoix as a “really refined, hand-crafted cheese” that melts on the tongue and has notes of herbs, fruits and leather, CNN reported.
“A cheese with a lot of taste and bouquet.”
