Swiss cheese, originating from Switzerland, is a semi-hard cheese known for its mild, nutty flavor and iconic holes, which are formed by bacterial fermentation releasing carbon dioxide during production. Made primarily from cow's milk, Swiss cheese is a good source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair. It is lower in sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a heart-friendly option in moderation. Swiss cheese also contains vitamin B12, supporting nervous system health. However, like all cheeses, it is relatively high in saturated fats, which can contribute to high cholesterol levels if consumed excessively. Its versatility makes it a staple in dishes such as sandwiches, fondue, and casseroles. While its nutritional profile offers several benefits, portion control is key to integrating Swiss cheese into a balanced diet.
