Short facts : A Swiss semi-hard cheese aged for at least four months

Emmentaler cheese is a Swiss cheese that is known for its distinctive nutty flavour and characteristic holes. It is made from cow’s milk and has a pale yellow color. Emmentaler is a semi-hard cheese that is aged for at least four months, which gives it a rich and complex flavour profile. It is commonly used in cooking, especially dishes like fondue, sandwiches, and salads, but also pairs well with fruits, nuts and bread. The iconic holes in Emmentaler cheese are formed during the fermentation process when carbon dioxide is released and creates air pockets in the cheese.
