Gruyère
Fribourg, Switzerland
Fribourg, Switzerland
This is Swiss! Representing the host of
great cooked-curd alpine cheeses, Gruyère is probably one of the most
famous cheeses in the world. It deserves every scrap of its fame.
Gruyères, both the select and the standard, exhibit a lovely pliable
texture coupled with the flavor intensity of a drier cheese. It tastes
nutty, fruity, buttery, with a unique piquancy from propionic acid. The
more well aged examples will have tiny crunchy bits in the sea of
toothsome paste; these are proteins slowly crystallizing over time.
