Genuine Swiss Emmenthal cheese is produced in the central cantons of Switzerland. It is a traditional, hard cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk. It's hard, thin rind is covered by paper with producer's name on it. The aroma is sweet with tones of fresh-cut hay. The flavour is very fruity, not without a tone of acidity. A delicacy on every cheese platter, popular dessert cheese, as well as being a tasty versatile basis for warm cheese dishes.
