Emmi Roth, USA , generously sent me an 18 lb full wheel of this beautifully delicious cheese. I was commissioned to paint the top cheeses of the American Cheese Society first. Having all this great, and hard to get, cheese around it seemed foolish not to paint them each again, while I had the chance.

By this 2nd time, they asked me to title it by its new name "Surchoix" rather than problematic "gruyere" a term that is controversial to use outside of it's region.
