Gruyere cheese
Holey Alpine wheel
Gruyere cheese is a firm, pale yellow Swiss cheese with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that intensifies with age.
Named after a town in Switzerland, it melts smoothly, making it essential for fondue and French onion soup.
The rind is edible but often trimmed.
The recipe calls for a cup of shredded Gruyere.
