Gruyère cheese is a rich, flavorful Swiss cheese known for its smooth, firm texture and nutty, slightly sweet taste. Made from cow’s milk, Gruyère is aged for at least five months, resulting in a dense cheese with minimal holes, typical of Alpine varieties. Originating from Switzerland, it is often used in dishes like fondue, gratins, and sandwiches or enjoyed simply on its own. Nutritionally, Gruyère is a source of high-quality protein and is rich in calcium, which supports healthy bones and teeth. It also contains vitamins A and B12, essential for eye health and energy production. However, as a full-fat cheese, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially by those mindful of heart health. Gruyère offers a balance of indulgence and nutrition, making it a versatile and satisfying addition to a well-rounded diet.
