Swiss Cheese

Swiss Cheese

Everyday

Swiss cheese is a semi-hard dairy product originating from Switzerland, recognized by its signature holes ('eyes') created by carbon dioxide release during bacterial fermentation. It features a mild, nutty flavor and smooth texture that develops slight crystallinity with aging, providing substantial calcium and protein with 25-30% less fat than many hard cheeses. Traditionally used in sandwiches and fondue, its extended aging process enhances flavor complexity while reducing lactose content, improving digestibility for those with sensitivities.
