A necessary staple, Gruyère is a cheese that, in its popularity & wide use, can never become blasé. As salt is to spices, Gruyère is to cheese: versatile & flavor enhancing. Evinced in its captivating flavor, it can be used for practically anything from grating & slicing to melting & simply enjoying on its own. Its taste is a harmony of beefy nuttiness paired with an underlying sweet saltiness & fruit composed within a firm, smooth texture & yellowish paste.
