What it is

Gruyère is a hard, pale yellow cheese originating from Switzerland. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its complex, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor. The cheese is aged for several months, which contributes to its firm texture and rich taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Gruyère for its distinct flavor and melting properties. It is often found in baked goods like gratins, quiches, and French onion soup, as well as in sandwiches and cheese platters. Its savory profile also makes it a popular addition to dips and sauces.

Health notes

Gruyère cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for Gruyère's health impacts at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized. Like all dairy, it contains saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Gruyère cheese is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
