A delicacy originally from the Gruyere district of Switzerland, this cheese is best known as a key fondue ingredient. This Austrian version offers all you'd expect in an Alpine Gruyere-- it is delightfully nutty, spicy, full-flavored, and aromatic when melted. A whole wheel weighs approximately 80 pounds, and it takes over 700 pounds of milk to make a single wheel. We recommend this cheese be diced into salads, melted in a hot sandwich, or blended into a piping-hot pot of cheese fondue.
