Emmental cheese

Emmental cheese, often referred to as Swiss cheese, is a semi-hard cheese originating from Switzerland. It is known for its characteristic holes or "eyes" and has a mild, slightly nutty flavor. The cheese is made from cow's milk and has a smooth, pale yellow rind. Emmental is versatile in cooking, commonly used in fondue, sandwiches, and as a table cheese. Its unique taste and texture result from specific bacteria and the fermentation process, which also contributes to the formation of its signature holes during aging. Emmental is a staple in both Swiss cuisine and internationally.
