Gruyere

Gruyere is an unpasteurized, firm cow's milk cheese from Fribourg, Switzerland.
It has a creamy-beige interior with a delightfully nutty, spicy, full flavor. Perfect for a table cheese, melted into sandwiches or baked potatoes and famous in fondue. 

Pairs well with red or white Burgundies, and Alsatian white wines.  This is the true "Swiss Cheese."

Gruyere is the ultimate Swiss cheese. It is an unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese with a complex, nutty-fruity flavor and a firm texture. Gruyere is traditionally the go-to cheese for an elegant fondue, but there are many more ways to enjoy its earthy intensity.

In addition to complimenting a well-thought out cheese board, Gruyere is a very versatile cheese. It makes a great addition to a quiche, particularly one that includes bacon and asparagus. Try it melted in a Panini sandwich; ham and a grainy mustard are perfect accompaniments for a hearty lunch-sized grilled treat. Fruit jams can be an unconventional addition to a sandwich that includes Gruyere, or add some to your favorite scone recipe for a savory breakfast alternative.

Wine lovers pair Gruyere with crisp Chardonnays, particularly those with hints of apple, pear and citrus. Red wine aficionados indulge in light, fruity Beaujolais or Pinot Noirs, which compliment the nutty sharpness of a well-aged Gruyere.
