About Queijo emental

Queijo Emental, commonly known as Emmental or Swiss cheese, originates from Switzerland and is famous for its signature holes and mild, nutty flavor. Made from cow's milk, it features a smooth, yellow rind and a firm, slightly elastic texture. This cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which contribute to bone health and energy metabolism. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Emmental is widely used in Western cuisine, particularly in fondue, sandwiches, and baked dishes, serving as both a flavorful and versatile ingredient. Its lactose content is relatively low due to the aging process, making it more tolerable for individuals with lactose sensitivities. Whether enjoyed on its own or incorporated into recipes, Queijo Emental delivers a classic taste with both nutritional benefits and considerations.
