Say cheese! The Creative Kitchen team and our Whole Foods Market campers can’t get enough of Emmi’s Mild Le Gruyère Cheese. They’re having so much fun making and eating fondue with Emmi’s cheese at our Kids Cooking Camps. Emmi sources its milk from pasture fed cows that aren’t treated with growth hormones – and happy cows makes for even tastier cheese! Their simple, all-natural ingredients and careful process allow for rich flavors in every bite. Grated, sliced, shredded, or diced – this cheese is a great addition to any balanced diet with calcium and vitamin A in every serving. Find the recipe for their ooey gooey fondue and other great dishes here.
