Gruyere Cheese

Serving Ideas

Distinctive, sharp, and great for melting, Gruyère is a traditional ingredient in fondue, French onion soup, Le Tourin, and Croque Monsieur (France’s classic hot ham and cheese sandwich). One of the finest cheeses for baking, Gruyère is also wonderful in soufflés, quiches, and gratins. But don't overlook Gruyère's place on an elegant cheese board, as well. Delightfully nutty, spicy, and full-flavoured, this famous Swiss cheese is quite delicious served with fresh fruit and crackers.
For an exciting change of pace, grate Gruyère to top your favourite pastas and salads. In fact, you can use Gruyère in most any recipe or way that you would use your usual Swiss.

The finest lamb

Lamb connoisseurs consider lamb pré-salé to be the finest in the world. The French term means "salty field," and is applied to lamb that graze on meadowlands on the salty shores of Brittany and Normandy. The grass that thrives on the salty land gives the lamb meat a delicate flavor. The most reknowned area for this lamb is near Mont-St.-Michel in France. You might want to question the chef if you find pré-salé lamb on the menu in the United States, as there is a good chance it is not authentic.
What is the difference between Lamb and Mutton???
Q- What is the difference between Lamb And Mutton?
A- There is indeed a difference between lamb and mutton, but it is simply a matter of age and flavor.
    - Lamb is a sheep less than a year old, typically slaughtered between the ages of 4 and 12 months. Older sheep is called mutton and has a much stronger flavor and tougher meat that many find distasteful. Mutton was a cheap food source for the military, and it was often overcooked and dry. Many American servicemen had their fill of mutton, coming home to declare it off-limits in the family home. This may be another reason why lamb has not become more popular in the States.
Our lamb History

The word lamb comes from the German lambiz. As early as 10,000 years ago in Central Asia, man discovered that the sheep was a good source of not only food, but clothing. Sheep (Ovis aries) have long been a dietary staple as well as a textile source in Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

In the Middle Ages, farmers learned that sheep was the most productive crop, providing meat, wool for clothing, skins for parchment, and milk for butter and cheese. Sheep provide an amazing myriad of products in the 21st century.

The first sheep were brought to North America by Spanish soldiers under the command of Cortez in 1519. The introduction of sheep into the commercial cattle herds of the western territories in the 1800s caused much bloodshed and social division. Perhaps this bad reputation is one reason why lamb did not make it as a mainstay of the American palate.

In the early 1900s, the federal government actually sanctioned genocide of certain varieties of sheep in a purported attempt to upgrade the quality of certain breeds. The Cotswold, one of the oldest breeds, was introduced to England over 2000 years ago by the Romans. Brought to the United States in 1832, the Cotswold was also the first purebred breed to be registered in the United States in 1878. This breed is now currently classified as a rare breed and is prized for its wool.

Lamb also has religious connotations. Lambs were ritually used as sacrifices in many different religions to all varieties of gods, and is still a favorite menu item for Easter and Passover.
