Le Gruyère has been produced since 1115 in the area surrounding the little village of Gruyère in Western Switzerland. This much-loved cheese is still made in local dairies according to the original traditional recipe. With its distinctive, buttery, caramel flavor, this is one of Switzerland’s greatest cheeses. Gruyère takes pride of place on any cheeseboard. A savory end to any meal, this fine cheese lends itself to the preparation of tasty hot dishes and is a key ingredient in authentic Swiss fondue.
