MONROE, Wis. – Award-winning Grand Cru® Gruyère from Emmi Roth USA is now available in a convenient diced format. After several months of testing, the new quarter-inch dice proved ideal for foodservice applications; easier to portion and distribute, it provides better coverage with less overlap when baking and melting compared to shreds and slices.
“We’re always looking for creative solutions for at-home and professional chefs alike. This new diced format for Grand Cru® Gruyère functions beautifully in the kitchen, and garners plenty of attention every time we work with it out in the field,” says Regi Hise, Corporate Chef at Emmi Roth USA.
Grand Cru® Gruyère is crafted by expert cheesemakers in copper vats at Emmi Roth USA in Monroe, Wisconsin, using fresh, pasteurized rbst-free cow’s milk. Cured a minimum of four months, this rich, smooth and mellow cheese has light floral notes and hints of earthiness, and its popularity in the kitchen continues to grow. Ideal for melting, Grand Cru® Gruyère lends an indulgent flavor to culinary applications, and is perfect for baking onto breads and croutons, pizza and crostini. Other applications for the new diced format include omelets, gratins, soups, sauces, fondue, and mac ‘n cheese.
