The rich history of real Emmentaler

Emmentaler originally comes from the valley of the Emme river in the Swiss canton of Bern. It is one of the oldest and most impressive cheeses in the world; a whole cheese wheel can weigh up to 100 kilos! The original Swiss Emmentaler is still traditionally made from fresh, unpasteurized cow's milk. This raw milk comes from cows that graze in the meadows or in the mountains and exclusively eat fresh grass or hay. This diet and the raw milk preparation give the cheese its rich, complex and unmistakably nutty aromas. It is therefore no surprise that this top cheese was awarded silver by the international expert jury of the World Cheese Awards 2025-26.

The most recognizable thing about this cheese is of course the holes. These cherry- to walnut-sized holes arise naturally in the ripening cellars because bacteria produce carbon dioxide gas that cannot escape. Besides the delicious taste to eat purely as a snack, Emmentaler is the absolute star player in warm dishes. It melts fantastically and creates beautiful strings, making it the indispensable ingredient for a traditional, heartwarming Swiss cheese fondue.

Freshly cut, vacuum-packed and shipped cooled

Frequently Asked Questions about Swiss Emmentaler

Can pregnant women eat Swiss Emmentaler?

Please note: original Swiss Emmentaler is made from unpasteurized cow's milk (raw milk). Because it is a relatively hard cheese, the risk is low, but to be on the safe side, raw milk cheese is often not recommended for pregnant women, unless the cheese is thoroughly heated (such as in a fondue or grilled sandwich).

Is Emmentaler suitable for cheese fondue?

Yes, Emmentaler is, along with Gruyère, the most important and most classic ingredient for a traditional Swiss cheese fondue. The cheese melts particularly well and gives the fondue that perfect creamy, nutty flavor and beautiful strings.

How long can I keep this cheese?

Thanks to our vacuum packaging, you can safely keep the cheese unopened in the refrigerator for 7 to 8 weeks. After opening, it is best to wrap the cheese in cheese paper. It will then stay perfectly tasty in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 weeks.

Do you also sell other cheeses with holes?

Yes, certainly! In addition to Emmentaler, we have delicious Dutch variants with large holes. View our complete Leerdammer, Maasdammer & Tynjetaler category.
