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!
This is first time I've seen this woman
As a in Fribourg living person, the emmi taste fucking horrible. Don't know about the others
“I’ve been giving you a lot of Swiss history.”
You mean Swisstory.
Thank you and goodnight
We need to better in the U.S and make our mark in the cheese world
Hello!
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.
I thought they just demonstrated how hay particles making their way into the milk causes the holes. It's probably both?
Comparing genuine Swiss Gruyère with US made stuff is like comparing apples with chocolate. No comparison.
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.
Please take the time to age,as an old guy ,I csn wait,give me your best.
HAHAHA Jack said, Swiss-tory!!!!
Good stuff but wow 20 bucks for a pound of cheese.
Gruyère is not only a cheese but a whole region, my region ! A little heaven on earth 🙂
A real gruyère doesn't have cheese
Please do a smoked Gouda taste test
As a Swiss I can recommend the Gruyère you get at Costco. Very good and great price!
I like the french version called comte.
Please rate fondue pots.
$20 a lb is too much to pay for cheese.
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.
I agree with Holly M. my fave cheese as well.

Thanks
Hello, I love each of you. I am thrilled to be able to watch you and learn from you. Thank you. God bless you all.👍🏻❤️
Thanks for not calling it "Swiss cheese"
I really love that they give you the good and the bad, so rare in a review in general, but so valuable.
There is no such thing as domestic gruyere, just like there is no such thing as domestic champagne or domestic cognac. That Boars Head company has blatantly mislabelled their cheese.
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)
There’s no “hole” / air bubble in a real Gruyere!
Thanks for the data 🙂

Love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️
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.
I love the videos! Pls keep them coming
Hello I will look for this.
I am wondering if any companies who own a product that perform poorly in these taste testings decide to start doing better. Anyone have any ideas?
Yes Hi lady can you please make vegan food for us vegans 😂
Thank you 😊
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. 🧀♥️
Yum! I will be on the look-out for the 1655 Gruyere! Many thanks.
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.
I love the taste tests with Jack and Bridget! Great history lesson!
Gruyere is by far my favorite cheese. It's a real treat for me, so I don't think twice about spending the big bucks on the AOP stuff when I want a really good block of cheese.
Do you really need a straw for a glass of water ?
