5 Frequently Asked Questions about Gruyère
What is the difference between Gruyère and Emmentaler?
Emmentaler is known for its large holes and very mild, slightly sweeter taste. Gruyère, on the other hand, rarely has holes, is much firmer and more compact, and possesses a much more powerful, saltier, and intensely nutty flavor.
Why is Gruyère so good for melting?
Gruyère has a perfect ratio of moisture, fat, and proteins. Because of this, Gruyère melts beautifully silky smooth and evenly, without separating fat (curdling). That is why it is the king among fondue cheeses.
Does real Gruyère have holes?
Real Gruyère (AOP) has a dense and smooth structure. Sometimes small cracks or very small pits (eyes) can occur in it, but large holes do not belong in a traditional Gruyère.
Is Gruyère lactose-free?
Yes! Because it is a hard, ripened cheese, the lactose is completely broken down during the ripening process. Therefore, Gruyère is naturally 100% lactose-free.
How much Gruyère do I need for a fondue?
For a classic fondue, count on about 200 to 250 grams of cheese per person. Gruyère is often combined with Vacherin for this. Discover all options in the Gruyère category.
