Our new creation
Gran Oppagio Cheese
Gran Opaggio is unique blend of Swiss and Asiago cheese cultures. It is a completely new and different cheese that we have developed. Gran Opaggio has a one-of-a-kind flavor profile. The result is a completely balanced cheese with subtle nutty notes set off by a slight acidity and a buttery smooth texture. Perfect for any charcuterie board or Pasta Carbonara, or a quick snack, the uses for Gran Opaggio are endless.
“A Cheese Like No Other”
Gran Opaggio will compliment complex or simple flavor profiles. It will pair well with fruits or jam. The flavor is distinct, yet bold enough to compliment more pungent flavors, and will pair well with your favorite smoked sausage, beer, or wine. We are proud of it, and hope you will enjoy it as well with your favorite pairings. Guten appetite !

What Makes Swiss Cheese Different From Other Cheeses?
Swiss cheese has several characteristics that make it easy to recognize, from its firm texture and slightly nutty flavor to the distinctive holes found throughout the cheese. At Fairview Swiss Cheese, making quality Swiss is a tradition that has been passed down through four generations of our family.
The holes, commonly called “eyes,” develop as part of the cheesemaking and aging process. But great Swiss cheese is about more than appearance. Flavor, texture, consistency, and careful production all contribute to the finished product.
Swiss is also an incredibly versatile cheese. Its balanced flavor makes it easy to enjoy by itself while also working well on sandwiches, burgers, cheese boards, and a variety of hot dishes.
We’ve grown from producing just four blocks of cheese per day to more than seven million pounds annually, but our focus remains rooted in the cheesemaking traditions and attention to quality that helped build our family business.
How Should You Store Swiss Cheese After Purchase?
Proper storage helps protect the flavor, texture, and overall quality of Swiss cheese after you bring it home. Keep your cheese refrigerated and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods when it isn’t being served.
Once opened, Swiss cheese should be wrapped or stored in a sealed container to help prevent it from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. If you purchase freshly sliced Swiss from our retail store, keeping the package securely closed between uses can also help maintain its quality.
Before serving, take a moment to look at the cheese and make sure its appearance, aroma, and texture remain normal. If you’re unsure whether cheese has been stored properly or is still suitable to eat, it’s better to be cautious.
Whether you’re purchasing our Swiss for sandwiches, cooking, entertaining, or simply enjoying a slice on its own, good refrigeration and storage practices help you get the most from the cheese you bring home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Its distinctive flavor also adds depth to recipes where you want something different from cheddar or mozzarella.
As Swiss cheese ages, its flavor becomes more pronounced and complex while the texture becomes slightly firmer. Younger Swiss cheeses tend to have a milder, creamier taste, while aged varieties develop a sharper, nuttier flavor that many cheese enthusiasts enjoy on their own or paired with meats, breads, and wine.
Swiss cheese is a versatile addition to charcuterie boards, appetizer platters, and entertaining spreads.
