About Cheese, gjetost
Gruyere is a Swiss hard cheese aged for months in cave-like conditions, producing a firm, dense paste with complex flavor: initially nutty and sweet, deepening to earthy and slightly pungent with age. Fat is very high and protein is strong, making it one of the more energy-dense common cheeses. Carbs are negligible. Gruyere melts exceptionally well, which is why it is the traditional choice for French onion soup and fondue, but it is equally at home on a cheese board.
