Gruyère

Gruyère is a semi-hard Swiss cheese known for its rich, nutty flavor and smooth, slightly crumbly texture. Made from cow's milk, it is aged for several months, developing complex taste notes that deepen over time. Commonly used in cooking, especially in dishes like fondue and soups, Gruyère melts well and adds depth to recipes. Its firm consistency makes it suitable for slicing and grating. Named after the town of Gruyères in Switzerland, this cheese is appreciated worldwide for its quality, balance of savory and sweet flavors, and versatility in various culinary applications.
