Description
Gruyere cheese is a Swiss hard cheese with an intense flavor, known for its firm yet slightly elastic texture and its characteristic sweet and nutty aroma. Originating from the Gruyères region in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland, this cheese is made from cow's milk and is one of the classic ingredients in dishes such as fondue, gratins, and quiches.
Gruyere cheese is distinguished by its ability to melt uniformly, making it an ideal choice for recipes that require a cheese that provides creaminess without losing flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, it is a good source of protein, calcium, and B vitamins.
In different Latin American countries, Gruyere cheese may be known simply as Gruyère cheese or referred to as gruyer cheese, although the specific denomination is generally recognized and used in the culinary field.
