Swiss cheese, originating from Switzerland, is a semi-hard cheese known for its mild, nutty flavor and signature holes, or "eyes," created during fermentation. Traditionally made from cow's milk, it contains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, supporting bone health, muscle function, and energy production. Swiss cheese is lower in sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a heart-friendlier option for those monitoring salt intake. However, it is still high in saturated fat, so portion control is key to enjoying it within a balanced diet. Popular in sandwiches, fondue, and as a snack, Swiss cheese is versatile in cuisine and pairs well with fruits, bread, and wine. Its creamy texture and subtle taste make it an accessible choice for both cheese lovers and those new to trying different varieties.
