Gruyère is a firm, traditionally unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese originating in the Fribourg region of Switzerland, known for its natural, golden-brown rind and dense, smooth texture with occasional small holes. Its flavour is rich and complex, combining nutty, earthy, and savoury notes with hints of sweetness, becoming more intense and slightly crystalline as it ages.
