When you think of Swiss cheese, you think of holes. But Gruyère, which has a smooth texture, is the most produced and most consumed cheese within Switzerland. Gruyère cheese is a component of a classic Swiss fondue, along with European dishes like quiche and croque monsieur. The cheese has a long heritage. Records of cheesemaking go back to the 12th century in this region. Today, 30,000 tons of Gruyere are produced here each year.

    6:20 We can find who is the producer of this fake gruyere and we attack him😂
  • 6:20 Imagine some day two shady guys standing in front of your door and then knocking you out with a giant cheese wheel, "If you want to live, never sell that fake cheese again..."

    I once went on a school holiday in 1982. We visited this cheese place and when offered nobody else wanted to try it. I did and it was amazing,I still remember it now.Loved it. The cheese-maker was impressed with my enjoyment and shook my hand. It was the best stuff they had and I have not had the same ever since.Happy memories. : )

    As a Swiss living in Switzerland I can concur this video is correct. It's absolutely necessary to use gruyère to make a good fondue as the main cheese choice then you can add some Appenzeller and a little bit of Emmentaler. (And don't forget the kirsch!)

    I put 4 different cheeses in my Mac and cheese casserole, and gruyere is one of them. It’s so DELICIOUS. I’ve made it a habit to keep a block of gruyere cheese in my fridge. It tastes great on anything.😋

    I visited gruyere back in 2016, it was really nice, especially the castle of top of it and the cheese fondue with baby hard boiled potatoes 👌

    A good gruyère is unbelievable. Absolutely amazing cheese. From a French/Italian man.
