French Gruyère cheese is a beloved semi-hard cheese known for its rich, nutty flavour and smooth, firm texture. Originating from the Franche-Comté region of France, this cheese is crafted from high-quality cow's milk.
It boasts a golden-yellow rind and a pale interior dotted with small holes, characteristic of its traditional aging process, which lasts from several months to a year or more. French Gruyère is celebrated for its versatility in culinary applications. It melts beautifully, making it a favourite for fondues, gratins, and the classic French onion soup. Its complex flavour profile, with hints of sweetness and earthiness, also makes it delightful when enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits, nuts, and a variety of wines.
