Emmentaler is a hard, cow’s milk cheese that originated from Emmental, the canton of Bern, Switzerland.
Emmentaler is a pale yellow Swiss cheese. It has a sweet smell, complemented by a fruity taste and delicate aroma. Its taste can be described as savory but mild. The most prominent feature of Emmentaler is the walnut-sized holes it contains.
Emmentaler is probably the origin of the sterotypical holey cheese image. In Switzerland, Emmentaler is combined with Gruyere and Swiss white wine to make fondues.
When served on the table, a crisp dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Shiraz, is preferred by most.
