Gruyere Description
Gruyère is one of the premium Swiss cheeses with typical smaller and fewer holes than most other Swiss cheeses. It is known for its ability to melt quickly. This is the reason why it is widely used in conventional fondues.
Named after the Swiss town having the same name where it was first made, this firm cheese has a creamy and a bit nutty flavor and has a pale yellow look. It is a popular table cheese, meaning it is used in sandwiches, bread, and cheese platters. It is also used in the traditional French grilled sandwich called croque monsieur.
Gruyere is also useful for baking due to its sweeter flavor than other cheeses. In pies and tarts, it adds a creamy texture and nutty taste without overtaking the flavors of other ingredients.
