Gruyere cheese

This cheese originated in Switzerland. Its nutlike bouquet makes Gruyere a favorite cooking cheese, commonly used in quiche; it is also excellent for eating along with fresh fruit. Gruyere is ivory-yellow with a wrinkled rind; the cheese has tiny eyes, well aged, and may show small cracks. Gruyere is famous for its use in Swiss Fondue, and also a hard cheese that is similar to Emmental but with smaller hole formation. Its texture is chewy and it develops small cracks as it ages. In addition to its role as a Fondue cheese, Gruyere is also an excellent sandwich cheese that melts evenly.
