Gruyère is a firm Swiss cow’s-milk cheese valued for nutty, savoury flavour and reliable melting in cooked dishes.
Selection and Storage
Choose cheese with a clean aroma and properly maintained rind or cut surface. Refrigerate well wrapped while avoiding excessive surface moisture.
Preparation and Culinary Uses
Grate or slice for gratins, fondue, croque-style sandwiches, sauces and baked dishes. Its flavour intensifies with age, so adjust seasoning accordingly.
Chef’s Notes
Assess freshness, aroma, texture and intensity before building the dish.
Always Cook with Heart. Always!
