Emmi Le Gruyère

Emmi Le Gruyère is a delicious example of a fine firm Swiss cheese. It has a sharp flavour that doesn't cut your tongue out.  I started this post months ago but was stuck because this cheese really is so good I had a hard time thinking of ways to describe it. Then I ate the last of my gruyere and couldn't possibly just finish the post from memory. So now I've bought another block of gruyere and after grating some into a spinach-mushroom quiche last weekend and into my omelette this morning I decided it was high time I gave gruyère its due.



This cheese, with its oddly spelled name, sounds fancy and French. There's a scene in an episode of Hotel Hell where Gordon Ramsay corrects one of the dude-bro owner's laughably awful pronunciation, here's a clip of which I claim no ownership:

HA! The look on Ramsay's face. Priceless.

Despite a perhaps "hoity-toity" reputation there is a reason gruyère is favoured by many chefs, it's so darned tasty.  I find the flavour a bit smoother than Jarlsberg, which I also love, piquant comes to mind but that might be inaccurate. 

Well I've rambled on a bunch more, I still don't know if I've done Le Gruyère justice but hopefully I've encouraged some out there tho give it a try. You won't be disappointed.


Highly Recommended.
