About Emmental

Emmental, commonly known as Swiss cheese, is a semi-hard cheese originating from Switzerland's Emmental Valley. Recognized by its signature holes formed during fermentation, Emmental has a mild, nutty flavor with a slightly fruity undertone. Made from cow's milk, it contains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, promoting bone health and muscle maintenance. It's a source of healthy fats but also contains saturated fats, so moderation is key for heart health. Emmental is a versatile addition to European, especially Swiss cuisine, often featured in fondue, sandwiches, and casseroles. While it provides a good dose of energy, individuals monitoring sodium intake should note its relatively high salt content. Overall, Emmental offers tasty nutrition for balanced eating when enjoyed as part of a varied diet.
