History and Origin of Emmental Cheese

Emmental Cheese is one of the most iconic Swiss cheeses, made from cow's milk. This Alpine cheese originated in the valley of the Emme River, from which it takes its name (Emmental in German means "valley of the Emme").

With a mild flavour and a delicate aroma reminiscent of walnuts, Emmental is distinguished by its characteristic holes. Its firm texture and balanced flavour make it a must-have in Swiss cuisine.

The production process involves coagulating the milk using rennet or approved coagulating enzymes. The curd is cut into small grains and heated to a minimum temperature of 50°C. It is then formed into large wheels that are immersed in brine for curing, a process that takes between 3 and 6 months.

Ideal to enjoy on cheese boards or as an accompaniment to gourmet dishes, Emmental Cheese is an option that cannot be missing from your pantry.
