I am interested in two different kinds. Real gruyere that is semi-hard, and processed gruyere that I will use in Macaroni & Cheese. I don't want those small triangles wrapped in foil that we all knew as kids, but rather I seek to buy a big hunk of the processed stuff by the pound. Can anyone tell me where to fine both the standard gruyere and the processed stuff? Would prefer made in Wisconsin, but will accept from elsewhere if I have to. Thanks Mon Feb 16 11:48:40 -0800 2004 0 hooterville_rutabaga 1 666037 For cheese in Madison (city limits) I have to recommend Whole Foods on University Ave. Wish we had one in Milwaukee!!

Roth Kase is a cheesery out of monroe wisc. processed cheese? sorry to sound like a snob, but you're on your own there. for what it's worth, i've used the roth kase cheese in many cheese-and-pasta dishes with great results.

It is amazingly tasty, sold at Whole Foods, sort of pricey, and worth every penny. Tue Feb 24 12:48:50 -0800 2004 666019 0 StephenB 1 1746850 Brennan's also sells Roth Kase Gruyere.

Where did we buy cheese in Wisconsin before whole paycheck came to town? Also try Relish on Monroe St. and Bavarian Sausage Haus. The Farmer's markets around town are also excellent sources.
