Product Information

Made throughout Greece for centuries, this traditional whey cheese is crafted from ewe or goat’s milk and typically formed into cone or ball shapes. The Greek name for the PDO variety translates to “flower cheese,” and the cheese displays a floral aroma and flavour with hints of wild herbs and smokey tang. When fresh, Anthotyro is soft, mild and used in cheese pastries or eaten with honey and fruit for breakfast. When aged, it becomes a hard, salty, rich cheese for table or grating. Feta [FEHT-tah] Vegan or Plant-Based Diet: People following a vegan or plant-based diet will need dairy-free cheese substitutes to replace Gruyère in recipes. Example dishes: For melting on sandwiches or incorporating into cheese boards for a delightful texture.

A popular vegan alternative for Gruyère cheese is vegan Swiss or Emmental-style cheese. These plant-based cheeses are crafted to mimic the nutty and slightly sweet flavors of Gruyère while offering a similar melting ability, making them suitable for various vegan dishes like sandwiches, fondues, and gratins. Look for Greek specialty stores and markets that carry a variety of Greek cheeses, such as feta, kasseri, graviera, and kefalotyri. Measurement: Substitute in equal amounts by weight or volume to maintain the desired presentation and flavor.Jarlsberg cheese from Jarlsberg, Norway may seem like an unusual substitute for Swiss cheese , although it completely makes sense when you trace its history. In truth, it’s said to be a direct offshoot of the emmental cheese. It’s even classified as a Swiss or Alpine cheese despite coming from a completely different country. Nowadays, it’s also produced by a few manufacturers in the US with permission from the Norwegian government. Why it works: Comté shares Gruyère's nutty notes and creamy texture while offering a hint of earthiness due to its aging process, enriching recipes with depth and complexity. Oil: Use a high quality extra virgin olive oil, like our Greek Koroneiki, for pan-frying. Do not use vegetable seed oil as it will distort the flavor.
