Making Gruyère in the Swiss Alps for Centuries
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- Alexandre Murith’s family has been making gruyère d’alpage in Switzerland for five generations, and there is an art to producing this cheese with a hard texture and no holes. While regular gruyère is made year-round, gruyère d’alpage is only made from May through October. That’s when the cows are allowed to graze freely in the mountains, nibbling on wildflowers. Once the cows are milked, the Murith family’s gruyère d’alpage is made in a traditional manner with no processing, and each wheel is aged for several months. Join us in the Swiss Alps for a lesson in cheesemaking.

I don't know why, but this made me cry tears of happiness. I understood the guy's French, but there was something else.
Those are the most beautiful cows you'll ever see! They are so happy! The toolshed looks like a movie set! Absolutely incredible property and a world class view! Switzerland is gorgeous! 👍👌
2:15 Guys, this is how you propose: just show up with a giant wheel of good cheese.
I say yes before he finish the question
I would give that person my unborn first child. 😂
I would love to eat this cheese
Luz Rodriguez it‘s my favorite cheese to eat and i‘m swiss....
Toxic_ 23 its great just wish I could have some ) : im a dual citizen living in Australia
@@toxic_2350 same here
Swiss dude here. Its hands down the best fucking cheese imaginable
Tom Goldenheart thanks but i have gone to woolies and they dont sell it anymore. I bought it once and then never saw it again unfortunately
I just got a great big story as on a great big story vid
What a time to be alive
mmmmmmmmm i love gruyere, it's my favorite cheese. smells like feet, but tastes better than any other cheese. but you gotta get it w/ the yellow rind still in it. the cheese right next to the rind is the most fermented, so it's the sharpest and most complex part of the cheese. and the rind is edible too, and extremely flavorful, though i do prefer to toast it if i'm eating the rind. it gets this super nutty savory flavor that's just the best
So true
The rind super sticky and smelly. Never heard of people eating it. Normally I cut it away.

you can definitely eat it. the only rinds you shouldn't eat are the ones made of wax or cloth. any ones made from bacteria or fungi can be eaten, and some would even say should be eaten. do you cut off the rind on brie too? lots of cheese lovers eat the rind, it has the most concentrate flavor, it's the essence of the flavor of the cheese. it's best when melted or grated though. when the rind is melted, its flavor profile changes dramatically, some of the more volatile stinky feet compounds evaporate quickly, and some of the other complex compounds have chemical reactions with each other to make a very nutty flavor. or if you grate the cheese, the rind pieces are small enough that you don't just get a giant bite of it, and it spreads the flavor out through the cheese.
you're right, it doesn't smell great, but it definitely tastes awesome. and compared to some of the stinky cheeses i've eaten, some of which were stinky all the way through, gruyere rind has a rather mild flavor, comparatively speaking. some stinky cheeses taste like straight up ammonia all the way through, but those are a bit too overpowering, even for me.
God, I love cheese. I don't care if I'm lactose intolerant.
But don't cheese have less lactose?
Pretty sure lactose is converted in the cheese making process. Especially hard cheeses have very little lactose.
Aged hard cheese is lactose free.
Gruyere is lactosefree! I'm lactose intolerant and I eat it all the time.
Good to know: Cheese that riped for more than 3 months is, because of the bacterial process, practically lactose-free. I eat cheese that old without an issue. I'm lactose-intolerant myself.
By the way that counts also for camenbert. It's lactose free from the get go.
I loved that cheese when I was in Switzerland
Ha haLying bi+ch you never went to switzerland
Kim Jong-un Litteraly the 4th fukin time you post this stupid comment in a GBS video. Stop it, please
Fun fact: switzerland does actually deliver gruyere and emmentaler to north korea indirectly.
A simple and fulfilling life. We all think we need more TV shows, Internet and video games. We just need simplicity
yeah is that why farmers have one of the highest suicide rates you fucking egg
@@Dover939 Where did you het this info from, in Europe? And why so agro.
@@Dover939 If you grow your own food, nice fruits and vegetables, for you and your community, then you are happy. If you grow food to sell and the supermarket that you rely on to buy forces the prices down to make buyers happy, then I guess that isn't good for the farmers mental health.
@@Dover939 And it also doesn't surprise me if animal farmers, who put animals through hell, have mental health issues, especially if they love the animals and have to send them to have their throats cut for money.
Gruyères is one of the best place in all Switzerland!
Wonderful people and great cheese...
Have a fondue, visit the HR Giger museum and you’re done.
Its really touristy though... which kinda sucks.
@@souhung69 Made some family visit the place a couple of years ago and yes, it's way too touristic in a bad way.
Go to Fribourg, visit the old town and have fondue, get some chocolate at the Chocolat Villars shop, go see cows pretty much anywhere else.
This cheese is one of my dad‘s favorites following behind many other cheeses.
Listen Zach! There are some fancy cheeses that are expensive and taste like but.t but gruyère is not one of them
Am I the only one getting bombarded by cheese vids on my recommendations
No
Dragonborn would love to steal all of those cheese!
Annonymus GAMING remind him to bring a bucket
My favorite swiss cheese 😍
Pleasant video 😍😍.. a jealous soul from India 😋
Ah yes a great big story ad on a great big story video
Perfect sense
I love this cheese.
"Dad can I have some cheese"
"Sure let me just age it for a couple months in a cave"
Getting a great big story ad on a great big story video is comical
Making a great product, in the most beautiful place in the world
What a simple and clean lifestyle. I doubt anyone in his family has been or will ever be in need of Prozac, Valium, Blood pressure meds, etc...
One of my favorite cheeses.
Switzerland is great
I love cheese, and cheese made with great care is exquisite.
I love that place
God I love cheese
While I'm partial to Appenzeller, Tilsit, and Marechal, Gruyere still has a special spot in my gut. The Premier Cru variety's my personal favorite of the Gruyere lot.
This was a nice vid.
Amazing video however there’s a little problem with the translation. « On le mets dans un bain de sel pendant 24 heures » means they put it in a salt bath for 24 hours, not in a cellar for 24 hours.
Cheese is life.
If I were this farmer's wife, I'd eat gruyere until I roll down the mountain like a cheese wheel!
18-24 months, one of the best you can have in the whole world
Oh..that's look so... fresh and delicious, I would love to try this cheese :)
You definitely should. Its the absolute fucking best cheese in this universe

you really have issues with the traductions in all languages... your french translation made somy goofy choices in translation. for example they do not let the cheese in the cellar after pressing the curdle. they keep it in a bath of salt. at minute 2:11
oum saffiya al belgikiya he's not the only one having issues with 'traductions'....
traduction is french for translation. es tut mir leid.
@@oumsaffiyaalbelgikiya6054 t'en fais pas
*Wisconsin has left the chat*

Its funny , because i leave close to Gruyère and eat it so mutch that it become casual. But still the best cheese for me.
Ye luxury car company inspires cheese
Great Big Story ad on a Great Big Story video great.
Nice
Why is Great Big Story so obsessed with Switzerland?
It's a cool place
It has many food...?
They travelled to Switzerland and shot a great bunch of great stories. We have a great density of great stories here 🤣
There is a great big story ad on its own video
I prefer appenzeller. But gruyere is fine too when appenzeller is missing
Did anyone else get a Great Big Story ad?
I have been to the Gruyeres cheese factory and Gruyeres as well. It is AMAZING
What for ?
@@fauj7860Dillon we went on vacation. We also went to Paris, France, Annecy, France, Chamonix, France, Geneva, Switzerland and Gruyeres, Switzerland.
Is it just me or did Great Big Story just put an Great Big Sotry ad in their video?
It happened to me too
Who here is using their French skills to try and understand French he says
I understood without any effort, but have this tendency to read the subtitle. It was like listening to someone speaking two languages at the same time.. that was weird
Leo Lin Pretty much every accent in Switzerland is f up. And we got one for pretty much every region of it.
Moi... when you’re swiss-german trying to use your poor french skills, actually kinda understand while also reading the english subtitles to check and your mind doesn’t explode you know you made it 🤩
@@III-jk4dz we all understand each other, except valais dialect, no one fkn understands it except those who speak it lol
Wallace would have their entire stock
Lol
Fantastic! Loved to watch this video from New York City
в эту пративную швейцарийу после такой антирикламы не пайэду ни пяткай. никагда там не был и не прийэду. тьфу, йэсли эта деликатэсс, шо у них недикатэсс - гнилые каштаны?
Hell yeahhhhhhhhhh
Vim pelo GAlbernaz minha mae indico
So basically Gruyère is made from grass and wildflowers.
And a cow.
Malcolm Graves Pretty much like every cheese.
I got an ad of Great Big Story B E F O R E the video started! W a T???
Julian Contreras you get ads based on the video
Man, imagine some dude going for a Cheese Heist
I like to cut the cheese , beans help !!
DIARRHEA
@@conradmcdougall3629 hahaha hahaha
I just bought gruyère at my Costco
If you have a chance taste the Alpage Gruère against the regular. My cousin in a different part of Switzerland only makes cheese from the cows in the months they can graze high in the alps. It makes all the difference.
I didn’t even know what Gruyere was 😂
Uncultured.. lol.. get it?
Give it a try, it's amazing!
Its hands down the best fucking cheese in existence.
They have not trade marked the name, so you have to be sure that it is Swiss and from Gruyère. The French use the word as a random name to put on Emmental (ew). Gruyère tastes amazing and does NOT have holes.
Vraiment un des meilleurs fromages !
@@AwkwarredTurtle watch out for the AOC label
i love cheese more than i love my wife
Were they eating mac and cheese?
"what is dis?" "thats cheese..." Guess that reference :)
My name a Borat

I'm not the biggest fan of uncooked cheese, but that looks good.
Cheeeese
I never tried it.
My favourite videos are ones on CHEESE!
Love It! #Foodie 🧀
I am a simple man.
I see cheese, I click.

"Inspired by"? Don't you mean "Sponsored by", "Brought to you by", or "funded by"? I get "inspired" by money too, but more transparency would be nice.
Roberto Gudino Still better than a regular youtube add, don't you think it is ?
Like 103👍👍
does it taste similar to Halloumi cheese?
Cheez
Cheez-It at its finest
Big fan of watching random stuff on TH-cam

I like the accent. Sounds French
It's not like this shitty Wisconsin cheese
Last time I was this early the Muriths haven't started making cheese yet
Fingering Things you’re not even that early sorry to tell you 😂
First thing I did
Hey Google what's gruyere
