‘The name “gruyere” can now be used to label cheeses from outside of the Gruyère region of Switzerland and **France**, a US appeals court has ruled.’
France?? WTF?
Does not surprise me that a U.S. court rules for US producers against foreign interests. Same thing happened with the Australian Ugg boots which is now a trade mark in the US.
> The US Food and Drug Administration does have some standards that need to be met to call cheese “gruyere” – it must have “small holes” and have been aged for at least 90 days
Gruyère has holes? 🧐
I live in the States, a family member made me try a new cheese from local store Kroger called “cheddar-gruyere” a couple of days ago, I was like “fine I’ll try that abomination” 😆. Tasted nothing like Gruyère, it was more like Colby. But now I understand it, thanks for the post. When my family member bought it, she thought it was cheddar mixed with Gruyère.
Jeez… Let them eat shit with Gruyère written on it… Like Russians and Chinese buying 10K red wine bottles that aren’t even worth the Dôle you find a Aldi for CHF 5.
Wisconsin Lobby. MF have no dignity.
Either that or the US company making Toblerone take the Matterhorn off of the packaging. 😀
Americans call Ementaler Swiss-Cheese ans that’s it… it’s not like we have around 200 or more diferent cheese. now they wanna have there own Gruyere?
Stupid court ruling… 🤷🏻♂️
Good grief. I was embarrassed to have Trump as a president, now this. Honestly, anyone dumb enough to buy mass produced cheese made in the U.s, from a multinational conglomerate deserves what they get.
Tequila can only come from mexico, champagne can only come from france. Why can’t qruyere only come from switzerland?
If you want them to eat shit labeled “Gruyere-Cheese” let them go ahead. Anyone in the know will watch for the Swiss flag on the packaging and buy the good stuff.
“Now you’ve gone too far”
-The Swiss
Let’s steal the Coca Cola brand as punishment.
This court verdict is nothing but a farce since Gruyere provides the exact legal protection as Champagnes does. I am highly irritated, and would be willing to part ways with all the tanks and cannons we currently have amassed in the Alps and give them up to Putin as an offering in the expectation that he can free us from the tyranny of the United States.
The topic of cheese is a red flag. This is a malicious hostile assault on our beloved homeland.
**Protect our cheese!**
Guys gruyere is no brand and it isnt region locked, we produce it all over switzerland and the french make it also for decades.
As always US courts work for the interests of corporations.
It’s easy to find real Gruyère there. It costs $60 / kg. I kid you not.
*L’Ennemi américain*
So agro-corporate giants can freely steal the names of locally produced farm cheeses, concurrently selling a product which is just some sleazy industrialized brick of dairy. Meanwhile, the formula for Coca-Cola or KFC’s “11 spices” are heavily protected as a trademark.
Cool and normal.
Swiss & French cheese-makers need to get more competent lawyers. Italians managed to retain exclusive rights to Parmigiano Reggiano & they even blocked mega-corp Kraft from selling products as “Parmesan”.
Italians are based.
If only Americans had a cheese worth stealing its name to piss them is off

Time for gruyère guerre
Another failed occasion to lead by example
