What is Swiss Cheese?
Swiss cheese refers to several varieties, including the American version of Swiss Emmental. It is characterized by its shiny, pale yellow color and a firmer texture compared to baby Swiss. The flavor is mild, sweet, and nutty, with a savory but not sharp taste. Swiss cheese may have distinctive holes, known as 'eyes'; cheeses without these holes are called 'blind.' Generally, larger eyes indicate a more pronounced flavor.
Swiss cheese is made without forming a rind and pairs well with fruits like apples, pears, and grapes, as well as thinly-sliced prosciutto and salami. It complements fruity white wines, aged red wines, cran-raspberry juice, and tomato or vegetable juices.
