Emmentaler Swiss Cheese | AOP | 1 Pound Chunk | Frank & Sal
When you slice into Emmentaler AOP, you are getting a traditional cheese straight from the Emme Valley in Switzerland. Cheesemakers craft it from fresh, raw cow's milk, carefully pressing the curds into massive wheels before naturally aging them for a minimum of 120 days to create that famous texture.
At a Glance
This is the classic Swiss cheese recognized by its large holes and a mild, nutty flavor that makes it highly versatile. Because it is strictly regulated, you are guaranteed a cheese made purely from cows fed on fresh grass and hay, with absolutely no silage.

Why the AOP Label Matters
The Appellation d'Origine Protégée designation is your guarantee of quality. It means this cheese is strictly monitored to ensure traditional cheesemaking methods are followed. No artificial additives or genetically modified ingredients ever make it into your food.
How Emmentaler Gets Its Holes
As the cheese ages in climate-controlled cellars, a natural fermentation process creates carbon dioxide. That gas gets trapped inside the firm wheel, expanding to form those classic round holes while bringing out the cheese's delicious flavor.
