Frequently Asked Questions
Is Emmental the same as Swiss cheese in America?
American Swiss cheese is based on Emmental but is typically made differently, resulting in a milder flavor and different texture.
Why are the holes in Emmental so large?
The size of holes depends on aging temperature and bacterial activity. Warmer temperatures during aging create larger CO2 bubbles and bigger holes.
