Swiss
Swiss cheese is a generic name for several related varieties of cheese. It is an American version of the Swiss Emmental and is known for being shiny, pale yellow. It's flavour is mild, sweet and nutty. It has a savory, but not very sharp taste. Some types of Swiss cheese have a distinctive appearance. Some cheeses have holes known as 'eyes' while some do not. In general, the larger the 'eyes' in a Swiss cheese, the more pronounced its flavour!
The process of Swiss cheese making is designed in a way that no rind forms on the cheese. It can be eaten with fruits such as apples, grapes and thinly-sliced prosciutto ham and salami. Fruity white wine, aged red wine, crane-raspberry juice also prove to be great pairs for Swiss cheese.
