Emmental is a Swiss cheese with cooked pressed pastry, which is produced in the Emmental region, in the canton of Bern. It is a hard and golden crust cheese, which has a cylinder shape. Emmental has an orange -yellow paste and a golden crust, which is dotted with holes the size of a pea. Emmental is made from whole or pasteurized cow's milk. Emmental has a soft and slightly salty flavor, which recalls that of fresh cow's milk. It is very appreciated for its firm and crisp texture, and it is often served as an aperitif, accompanied by toast or aperitif cookies. Emmental can also be used in many cooking recipes, such as gratins, quiches and fondues.
