Gruyere Cheese

Gruyere

This extra special delicacy from the Gruyere district of Switzerland is well known as the basic ingredient in fondue. But with its delightfully nutty, spicy, full flavor, it is delicious as a table cheese as well. Upon eating Gruyere, one immediately recognizes the taste of whole milk that is used exclusively in making this grand cheese. We say it is grand because a whole wheel of Gruyere weighs about 80 pounds. In fact, it takes over 100 gallons of milk to make a single wheel of Gruyere! Enjoy this traditional favorite julienned into a chef’s salad, melted on a hot open-faced sandwich, or, of course, in a classic cheese fondue.


Riesling

Riesling

The perfect wine for cheese, for Gruyere especially. The nice acid, bright fruit pair well with the cave, straw and floral flavors of the cheese.
