Cheese: Gruyère

A long favorite of Jaren - we've already had two very good blocks bought at a farmers market.



Gruyère is a hard yellow cheese made from cow's milk, named after the town of Gruyères. Sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age, Gruyère is often described as creamy and nutty when young, becoming with age more assertive, earthy, and complex. When fully aged (five months to a year) it tends to have small holes and cracks which impart a slightly grainy mouthfeel.
