Do bleu cheese and gruyere cheese go well together? In a bread?
Q. I am making a loaf of fougasse with Maytag blue cheese, fresh rosemary and bacon drippings. Can I add some gruyere also? I've never tried this cheese and I was wondering if it would clash with the other flavors. JC - Thanks so much, that is just the kind of advice I was looking for. I don't know my cheeses at all but it sounds like you sure do. I will certainly take your advice!
Asked by Wo - Thu Jan 15 16:20:54 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not good. The Maytag will completely demolish the Gruyere for one thing. Secondly you'd ruin the flavor of a $17 a lb blue cheese by cutting it with a milder cheese. You can use either one for the bread, but don't combine high end cheeses. Now if you were going to use Danish blue and American cheese, who would care? But with a fine cheese( which they both are), you want to savor the distinct flavor of that cheese alone. Thanks Wo, Yes, I know a little. I've done a few magazine articles and TV tid bits. Look up The Nibble "Whey to Go". Stephanie interviewed me for the two articles they did on home made Mozzarella and Ricotta. But I've dealt with well over a 1000 different cheeses in my life Thx jc

What can be a substitute for Gruyere Cheese?
Q. I am going to make Venetian Panino (a turkey sandwich with garlic, dijon mustard, gruyere cheese, etc.). I was wondering if it doesn't taste good then what can I use (cheese) as a sub. Can it be parmesan?
Asked by Naeemah M - Mon Dec 3 12:20:57 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Gruyere cheese is like Emmenthaler Swiss cheese, only slightly milder. So if you like Swiss cheese, you should like it. Parmesan is harder and drier, with a different type of flavor/pungency, and doesn't melt or blend as well in a sandwich (unless you shave it into really thin slivers). But since turkey is a rather dry meat to begin with, I'd avoid it. I'd stick with the Gruyere/Swiss family. Otherwise if you want something milder you could try with a cheddar or Edam cheese, even if there's nothing Italian about them (but why should a "Venetian" panino have ingredients like Dijon mustard and gruyere cheese, which are French, in the first place?). In any case, since "panino" simply means "sandwich" in Italian (the kind on a bun or roll;… [cont.]

Gruyere cheese for wine tasting party?
Q. I know Gruyere is great in gratin-but is it suitable for a wine tasting? I have not tried it unmelted... : ) Any ideas as far as presentation appreciated! I have a couple of bottles of Auslese and Eiswein-does this pair well?
Asked by Lori - Sat Jun 21 13:59:28 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Swiss Gruyere is a very versatile cheese. It is also a great table cheese with a nutty, pleasant flavor. It's also one of the best melting cheeses( Fondue, on top of onion soup, and as you said Au gratin). It goes great with Rieslings and some reds( not the stronger ones however). Maybe a nice Pinot Noir. Good choice for a cheese. Ah presentation Always serve with fruits such as grapes,brown pears and apples( those are the best for Gruyere) or Membrillo( quince paste) found at almost every cheese counter. Email me if you need any other suggestions. I'm sitting in front of 200 cheeses right now at our store! Eiswein is great with blues Auslese Riesling?--YES

Q. And what is the correct wine to drink, when sampling it?
Asked by beatle1909 - Tue Jun 2 12:30:17 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can spend anywhere from $12-$35 per lb for good gruyere, perhaps even more. Remember though that it all comes down to your own taste. There are great gruyeres that can fall well on the low end of that scale. I'd go with a medium to full-bodied red with Gruyere, like a Merlot, Shiraz or a nice rich Pinot Noir. A Cabernet maybe a little too strong.

Q. I am not sure how to spell it but it is french cheese. I like to buy a different cheese every time I go to the store. This time I got gruyere, I have tried it on its own but it tastes dry and mild to me. Is there something its often used for besides on its own or substituted for any other cheese? Its swiss not french* Nevermind. I tried it again paying more attention and It is awesome. I would not spoil it with extra overpowering ingredients. I think I would have to eat this on its own, as I think that it is horrible to waste sharp cheese on a sandwich I think it would be the same to add ingredients to this cheese

Q. I'm working on a roasted stuffed tomato recipe incorporating shrimp, bread crumbs, bacon, cream, shitake mushroom, and some kind of cheese and some kind of herb. What would you suggest? Basil and mozzarella always goes well with tomato (e.g. Caprese salad) but I've done that many times. I'm thinking on Gruyere cheese or Parmesian and some other herb to compliment the shrimp.

Sprinkle each tomato with fried baby basil leaves before serving. Mmmm they sound so good! Please let me know what you end up doing.
