Answer: Switzerland
Gruyere, hard cow’s-milk cheese produced in the vicinity of La
Gruyere in southern Switzerland.
Gruyere is
formed in large wheels of 70 to 80 pounds (32 to 36 kg) with a brownish,
wrinkled natural rind. The interior is pale gold with pea-sized, or slightly
larger, holes and a rich, nutty flavour; it is similar to Emmentaler and
other Swiss-type cheeses but firmer in texture, with fewer holes and a
more assertive flavour.
Most Gruyere is aged for three to six months,
although some may be allowed to ripen for a year or more. It keeps well for
many weeks if securely wrapped and refrigerated.
