Emmentaler is the original Swiss cheese, world-famous for its distinctive holes and one-of-a-kind flavor. First produced more than eight centuries ago in the canton of Bern in the valley of the Emme River, Emmentaler AOP is still made in 200-pound wheels. This endlessly popular cheese is known as the king of cheese, and plays an essential role in Swiss communities and on American tables everywhere. AGED 4 MONTHS – RAW COW’S MILK – ANIMAL RENNET The king of cheese is made in 200-pound wheels from fresh, raw milk produced by grass-fed cows on family farms. Expert cheesemakers then age it for a minimum of 4 months in the microclimate of the Emmi cellars. Firm yet supple, Emmentaler AOP offers a nutty flavor with slight acidity and just a hint of herbs. This imported Swiss cheese melts beautifully for fondue!
