Gruyeres, Switzerland

We’re catching up on our Summer trips this year. On June 6th we headed out to Gruyeres, Switzerland, a quaint little town famous for it’s cheese and fondue. Our first stop was the cheese factory and museum. The cheese is nutty and sweet and it’s become our favorite cheese at home. This is the cheese used in Fondue, and we may go as far as saying we’ve perfected the fondue recipe since we leave out the wine.
