The characteristic flavour of Emmentaler AOP

A young, versatile cheese – perfect for every day.

A fresh flavour reminiscent of dried grass.

With unmistakeable sweet, milky caramel notes.

This classic cheese goes with practically everything.

Especially when it’s warm and melty.

«Emmentaler AOP pairs perfectly with potatoes, refined with butter flakes and caraway seeds. Add a slightly acidic Pinot Gris - and the culinary treat is perfect.»

Monika Bösch, Cheese Sommelière, GenussImpuls GmbH

Traditional craft since time immemorial. This is how Emmentaler AOP Mild/Classic is made.

Gregor Scherrer, cheese dairy Trungen

1,200 litres of raw milk undergo a strict quality inspection.

Then rennet and lactic acid bacterial cultures are added.

The milk is gently heated to 31°C.

Then to over 50°C.

After it is formed and pressed, it is placed in a salt bath.

The cheese then ages in the ripening cellar for four months.

The first six to nine weeks at around 22°C, then at around 12°C.

At this point, it now has its characteristic holes.

And its unmistakeable original flavour.
