  1. I'm now a true believer in real, Swiss made Gruyere cheese – it absolutely makes your recipe delicious, whatever the application may be. I've tried the 1655 brand and it's a game changer – don't short yourself – spend a little extra to get the real thing – you won't be disappointed!

  7. I absolutely love boar's Head smoked gruyere. It's a strong cheese, so a little goes a long way, but it is absolutely delicious. In fairness, I have not tried or even seen the winning brands in my store. Maybe I would like them even better.

  10. I don't know about American cheese but if you have good cheese like the one from my home Switzerland it is very important that you eat them at room temperature. So let it sweat a little bit and the taste will be amazing.

  20. The holes in cheese are not from the action of washing the rind. That action helps to keep mould off the cheese, imparts flavor into the cheese, and assists in the breaking down of the paste (interior of the cheese). Holes are from certain cultures (good bacteria) that are used during the cheesemaking process. Mix that with techniques used during the making process and aging process results in holes forming.

  27. Just saw your video about 5 ingenious uses of a food processor and was wondering if a food processor could not only be used for pizza dough, but for extremely elastic dough for hand-pulled Chinese noodles (which normally takes 40 minutes of kneading to achieve)

  32. Because I am vision impaired, and reading the text while it’s held up for a very short time is beyond my ability at this point in my life. Don’t mean to cause any negative feedback for this site. I appreciate all that you do it’s just hard to see something when it’s held up briefly. Thanks so much for all you do.

  37. Haha. If you're going to showcase Emmi Roth's 4 month old and 9 month old Grand Cru Surchoix cheeses, at least mention that their 14 month old was designated World's Best Cheese in 2016 beating out ~3000 cheeses. Easily available and kind of worth a taste due to the rare victory. Love cheese. 🧀♥️

  39. Since we are there guys, Gruyère is a beautiful region of Switzerland (so Gruyere cheese is not French, please!). Gruyere has no holes (or very small ones) but Emmental 🧀 does. Thanks for not confusing these again, puppies die each time you do.
