Gruyère is one of many famous European cheeses. It is made in both Switzerland and France, in the Alpine region between the two countries. Unlike some French mold-rind cheeses such as Brie or Camembert, which have a soft, almost runny texture, it is a semi-firm cheese with a washed rind. It has a sweet, faintly nutty taste, especially when it is young. It can be aged for up to two years, and the longer it is aged, the sharper and richer the flavor becomes. Gruyère is the cheese traditionally melted on the top of French onion soup, and due to its melting qualities, it is an ideal fondue cheese.
