We found this cheese was quite dry and did not seem have too much flavour, I think we were spoiled by the Torndirrup Appenzelle we had before, that was good, It had a fresh tasting flavour that stood out.
Bonjour Irene,
Thanks for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that our L'Etivaz cheese did not meet your expectations in terms of flavor and texture. We appreciate your opinion and hope you'll find other cheeses in our selection that you enjoy. If there's anything else we can do for you, please let us know!
Excellent flavour and texture, one of the best Swiss cheeses I've tried. It is a regular on the cheeseboard.
Etivaz is a beautiful full flavor and fruity Swiss cheese.
In my opinion, Etivaz is better than French Comte or even a Swiss Gruyere.
I will buy it again.
Thank you Marcelle for taking the time to share your thoughts about L'ETIVAZ AOP.
We had never come across l'Etivaz AOP before despite living in France for many years so it was a great surprise to find it at Deliss. It is absolutely delicious - as good if not better than an aged Comte. Highly recommend.
Merci Jo-Ann for taking the time to share your thoughts about l'Etivaz AOP cheese. I am also torn between l'Etivaz AOP and Comte AOP cheese on which one is the best! So, I eat both;-)
