I know. That's why I when I think of it.

I know that isn't exactly the same, but there are no producers of gruyere on your country? I know a few people began to create real French cheese in the USA; not gruyere similar at this of France of Switzerland? For a little cost?

There is one that makes Gran Cru Gruyere I found on line, but you have to order on line and then pay shipping costs. I have no car so am stuck buying the imported one in the store where I go if I want some. Yes, it is the duties and import fees that make it expensive. I tried Gran Cru once from the store because they did not have the Cave Aged, and did not like it as much as the Cave Aged. It has basically the same creamy, nutty flavor but not as smooth and not with the little 'tang' or bite the Cave Aged has.

Hahaha, we are the fanatics of cheese here  It's a French thing, oui?

Showed this to three of the fellows at work and they all wanted a copy of it.  And we are one of those type that would pick up the rest of the ingredients so I could make it as well, we do remember French Onion soup as the soup of the day at the Village Restaurant when I was doing the food and beverage part of my life and damn it was good.

So this ought to be a grand reunion to say the least.

it's a French thing, mainly with camembert and gruyere. Comte and roquefort are great cheeses too, but i do not eat now. Because I'm a vegetarian, and they put in animal rennet (taken from the stomachs of babies animals); and it's hard to find cheeses made with vegetable rennet. But more and more clients ask for these lasts.
But before, it was a bunch of cheeses passing on my table in the year 

It's true that more ancients cheeses are delicious.
