Experience the versatility of French Emmental and order today.
The French Emmental is arguably one of the most famous and versatile cheeses in the world. The cheese is made from high-quality cow's milk and ripens in special warm cellars. During this process, the famous 'eyes' (holes) are formed in the cheese. The taste of this French variant is remarkably soft, accessible, slightly sweet, and has a subtle nutty undertone. This makes it popular with adults and children alike.
What makes this cheese truly indispensable are its excellent melting properties. French Emmental is the ultimate cheese for a classic cheese fondue, but also gives a deliciously creamy and golden brown crust to your casseroles and gratins. Of course, it is also delicious in thin slices on a fresh baguette or as a flavor enhancer on a grilled sandwich or croque-monsieur.
Freshly cut from the wheel for the ultimate cheese experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for absolute freshness and top quality. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your piece of French Emmental accurately and fresh. Immediately after portioning, we pack your cheese completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the quality, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. As long as you keep the cheese unopened in the vacuum packaging, it will easily stay fresh in your refrigerator for weeks!
Frequently Asked Questions about French Emmental
How do the large holes form in Emmental cheese?
The characteristic holes (or 'eyes') are created during the ripening process in warm cellars. Special lactic acid bacteria then produce carbon dioxide gas. Because the rind of the cheese is already closed, the gas cannot escape and pushes holes in the supple dairy.
Is this cheese suitable for melting?
Yes, French Emmental is one of the best melting cheeses there is! It strings beautifully, becomes wonderfully creamy, and is therefore a classic ingredient in cheese fondue, grilled sandwiches, and as a gratin layer on casseroles.
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
Yes. Our French Emmental is prepared with pasteurized cow's milk, which means the milk has been heated. It is therefore completely safe to eat during pregnancy.
Do you sell more cheeses with holes?
Yes, certainly! Besides the French Emmental, we have a wonderful assortment of tasty cheeses with holes. View them all in the Leerdammer, Maasdammer & Tynjetaler category.

Good cheese, but shipping could be improved
Review byBrian
The cheese is good. My complaint is that it was not shipped with an ice pack, so it got a bit warm during shipment. I would definitely not order during the warmer months of the year unless they start shipping with ice packs.
