I love a great tasting Gruyere cheese and Alpenhaus French Gruyere doesn't disappoint with its fresh and rich taste. I love that this cheese is well aged which gives it an extra layer of complexity that adds a punch to salads, home-made mac-n-cheese, or just a great wine pairing. I like that this cheese comes in a 16oz package and is priced reasonably.

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!

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.

I had never tried this cheese before. I am pleasantly surprised at the taste. It's nutty and tastes great on pasta. Also put it on a Caesar salad and liked it better than Parmesan. Would definitely buy this again and recommend it to family and friends.

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 bought this Alpenhaus French Gruyere cheese the other day and I am honestly obsessed with it. It has a really good, rich taste that isn't too strong or overpowering. It melts incredibly smoothly, making it the absolute perfect choice for a gooey grilled cheese sandwich or a big pot of homemade mac and cheese. You should definitely grab a block of this if you want to make your everyday cheesy meals taste way better.

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.

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.

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.

Well, what can be said about Gruyere cheese. Of course it's good! It's such creamy goodness! It would be perfect for melting or in a grilled cheese.
