Gruyère cheese
Gruyere cheese is a
yellow cheese made from
cow's
milk. It was originally made in
Switzerland and is named after the village of Gruyères in Switzerland.
Gruyere cheese is a hard, slightly salty and piquant cheese. When fully aged (three to twelve month) there tend to be small holes and cracks unlike the more famous Emmentaler cheese. It is generally a pricy cheese (US??).
