Cheese, Gruyere
Pronounced “Grew-yair”, this cheese has been produced since the 11th century in the Alpine area between Switzerland and France.
Best known for its use in fondue, gruyere has a nutty, rich, full bodied flavor and a firm texture with a few tiny eyes.
The surface is ripened with an inedible brown rind.
Because cheese is essentially milk that is condensed it is important to choose gruyere cheese made from organic milk, free from hormones.
