One of Switzerland's oldest cheeses, dating back to the fifteenth century, this cheese can simply be referred to as Fribourgeois (pronounced: Free Booj wha). It comes in 15.5 to 20 pound wheels, and has a soft, smooth consistency. From the same region where Gruyere is made, it is comparable in taste, though Fribourgeois tends to be slightly more moist because it is pressed, and not cooked.
