What goes with Gruyere?
Gruyere combines enough moisture to melt with the concentration of a cooked, aged Alpine cheese. Its nutty sweetness supports onions, potatoes and mushrooms, while its glutamate depth gives body to restrained sauces. The cheese melts most evenly when grated from cold and introduced gradually. Excess heat or prolonged holding tightens the proteins and leaves a greasy surface.
