Swiss Emmental AOC 15 lbs

The pale and creamy Emmentaler AOP is the most iconic of all Swiss cheeses, characterized by its mild flavour and cherry-sized holes. Our world-famous cheese with holes takes its name from the eponymous valley in the heart of Switzerland, the Emmen Valley. The first Emmentaler cheese was produced in Alpine pastures in the 13th century for the farmers’ own consumption and as a means of preserving milk. Our Emmentaler AOP classic is matured for at least 4 months in cellars located in the area of origin. A wheel of Emmentaler AOP cheese contains between 1000 and 2000 holes. These are formed naturally during the ripening process. The gas produced during fermentation remains trapped in the paste. This gas, together with the bacteria that produce it, give the cheese its characteristic taste. Our Emmentaler AOP is made using fresh milk delivered straight to the cheese dairy immediately after milking. Additives are prohibited as are genetically modified ingredients.
