Perhaps the most justly celebrated
cheese made on the Continent of Europe
is the Swiss Gruyere This is made
mostly i'll huts called chalets, high up
among the Alps, at tie time during which
the pastures of the mountain sides are
accessible, and the huts habitable, say
from the melting OF the snow in May to
the end of September, when men and
animals descend for the winter into the
sheltered valleys thousands of feet below.
The chalets are located in the midst of
the mountain pastures on spot safe
from avalanches, and generally near to a
small pond or spring Of water, when such
are available. Provisions from the val
leys are carried up weekly TO the chalets,
and it is under such difficult and romantic
circumstances that cheese is made which
for hundreds of years has been consider
ed almost, if not quite, best on the Con
tinent.
The milk, partly SKINNED, or not ac-
cording to the quality of cheese desired
to be made, is put into great kettle and
SWING ON n crane over n gentle fire, where
it is allowed 10 attain temperature of II
deg. Fahrenheit, when the kettle is
swung off the fire and rennet is added to
the milk. When coagulation has adj
vanced far enough the curd is cut into as
fine pieces as practicable with the large
wooden knife which is used for the pur-
pose. The kettle is then swung over the
fire again, and the curl is taken up i'll
small quantities Ill n porringcr, and
poured back through the fingers, where
by it is more finely divided Great I'M
portance liz attached to this division Of
the curd, in order that each particle may
be fully exposed to the action of the heat
i'll the cooking process, which ensues
up to point when Il temperature of 9O
deg. has been attained. The kettle is
then immediately swung off the fire, and
the waste Of curd and whey stirred fOr
some fifteen minutes longer and if the
cooking has been properly performed,
the particles Of curd have the appearance
of bursted grains Of rice swimming III
the whey. The curd is then collected ii
Il cloth, and great care is taken to expe
all the whey. The salting Of the cheese
is also considered Il delicate and import
ant process. The salt is rubbed from
time TO time on the outside of the cheese
care being taken to discern when enough
shall have been absorbed. Tha Gruyert
cheeses.. are commonly three feet i'll dIa
meter, and weigh over one hundred
pounds. A successful cheese of TIM
kind is like a soft yellow paste, whicl
melts i'll the mouth, and it rs filed witt
cavities about the size of pea, one ol
two, say, in each square inch Of cheese -
