This is my first time trying this brand of gruyere cheese. It slices easily and has a great sharp and tangy flavor. I found it to be the perfect texture as well, not too hard and not too soft. I'm excited to try this in some recipes. I would like if it came in a resealable package.

I love the cheese because of the texture and taste, definitely would put this in Alfredo or spaghetti sauce. It was creamy but solid and tasted like a less sharp version of Parmesan cheese with a bolder finish, I have a feeling it will melt better than Parmesan as well. I would use this as an alternative to Parmesan especially considering the price for amount, I have no negatives to this cheese I would buy it again!

This is a nice aged gruyere cheese. It has a nice aged flavor, rich aroma that smells stronger than the taste. It's smooth and creamy. Melts well- great for Mac n cheese or a grilled cheese or perfect topping for French onion soup. Even great as a snack on a cheese plate.

We always like to keep block cheese on hand for snacking, recipes or entertaining. We also like to have a variety so I was happy to try Alpenhaus Gruyere because specialty cheese is a treat and I don't like traditional Swiss. As soon as I opened the package, you could smell the nuttiness and while the cheese is hard, it still had a smooth texture and sliced easily. I ate it in chunks on crackers but I know this will be delicious melted on French onion soup or Mac and cheese. I hope Sam's carries this regularly and it's not a seasonal offering.

Gruyere is one of my favorite cheeses. The Alpenhas French Gruyere has a great taste with just a slice. Used it in a lobster Mac and cheese recipe. It was not over powering in flavor. Complimented the dish. Next trying it on a grilled cheese. Great overall flavor!

This French Gruyere Semi-Hard Cheese Wedge is a great value for the price. The cheese has a rich, nutty flavor with a smooth texture that slices easily and melts well. The 1-pound family-size wedge is perfect for sandwiches, cheese boards, cooking, or sharing with guests. Fresh, flavorful, and versatile, it is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

I just tried this cheese for the very first time tonight to make a quiche and it is so good. It has that perfect nutty flavor you want from a good gruyere but it isn't way too strong or overwhelming.The best part is how incredibly smooth it melts because it doesn't get greasy or clump up at all. It would be amazing shredded over a casserole or just sliced up on a plate with some crackers. Plus you get a huge one pound block for a great price compared to the fancy cheese section at other stores. I am definitely adding this to my regular grocery list from now on.

I like the creamy, nutty taste of this cheese. I think it would pair really well with toasted french bread, some fruity jam, or wine. I also think it would be amazing as a ham and cheese sandwich. You can kind of get some hints of fruit at the end. I think it tastes delicious.

This is a good cheese. I like that it is a drier cheese. The rind on this particular type of cheese is not good, in my opinion but other than that I liked it. Similar to Swiss in taste. My kids do t like it, but my husband and myself both thought it was nice. Nothing extraordinary about it, but good.

Just Plain Plastic Tasting. Not as Expected

I was curious to try this cheese as the description held some promise and I usually like Gruyere, but this was not good. It had no taste and was dry. I should have returned it but I decided to just let that go. It was sup-bar.
