Description

Gruyere cheese is a Swiss hard cheese with an intense flavor, ideal for melting in a wide variety of recipes. Originating from the Gruyères region in Switzerland, this cheese is made from cow's milk and is characterized by its compact texture without large holes, as well as its slightly sweet, nutty, and slightly salty flavor that intensifies with aging.

Its high melting capacity makes it a perfect ingredient for dishes such as gratins, fondues, quiches, soufflés, and creamy sauces. Furthermore, Gruyere cheese provides a notable nutritional contribution, as it is a good source of protein, calcium, and B vitamins.

In different Latin American countries, Gruyere cheese may also be known as gruyer cheese or simply gruyer, although it is common for the original name to be maintained due to its European origin and its unique flavor and texture.
