I can't find Gruyere cheese! January 31, 2015 12:29AM |

Where has all the Gruyere gone? I tried to buy some at the Countdown in Oamaru before Christmas for a recipe I wanted to make, but couldn't find it. I was in a hurry so didn't bother asking anyone, but I've tried since many times, in three different Countdown stores, two New Worlds, one large Four Square supermarket and two smaller Four Square shops. Nothing. I asked about it in one of the Dunedin Countdown supermarkets a few weeks ago, and the man who was stocking the shelves at the time said he had worked there for years and had never heard of it, that the shop had never stocked it. I find that hard to believe, but couldn't argue with him. Has anyone else tried and failed to find it? Where has it gone??

A. wee while ago I went looking for Gruyere cheese in Countdown, and when I couldn't find any, I enquired. I was told they could no longer sell it as Gruyere, (comparing it to selling Champagne), as it now must be "MADE IN GRUYERE, Switzerland to be called Gruyere. I was, therefore, told that their "Deli Swiss" cheese was the same. I purchased some (at a very reasonable cost) and, yes, it tastes the same as Gruyere, and I can highly recommend it.
The packaging states: Packed for Progressive Enterprises By Dairyworks, 718 Halswell Junction Road, Hornby, Christchurch 8025. The barcode is 9421018082047. Hope this helps.

Daisy, thanks for that piece of information. I hadn't realised that about Gruyere so had to do a bit of research through our old friend Dr G. What next? No more Swiss Chard? No wait, isn't that Silver Beet? French fries, well, they are usually now called just fries or chip. Where there is a will there is a way.
