Emmental Reviews

Emmental cheese is one of the cheeses that has become more popular in recent years in the UK. I often buy it in a small block, but recently have taken to buying it pre sliced in both the full fat and the half fat versions. The reason I do this is because if it were up to me I would sit and eat cheese all day....by buying it in slices ...  Read the complete review

Swiss Emmental is imitated by many cheese producing countries, with varying degrees of success, but as with most things, the original stands head and shoulders above the rest, with its characteristic sweet and nutty flavour and fragrant aroma, obviously the most distinctive aspect being the many holes which are formed during fermentation. ...  Read the complete review

There's no denying the nutty-sweet flavour of emmental, but is that all it is about? I don't know what attracts me to it but it is seriously addictive! The texture of this cheese is hard to describe. It is vaguely similar to edam in texture, yet not chewy or rubbery, two aspects of cheese that I personally find off-putting. ...  Read the complete review

Emmental is one of Switzerland's oldest cheeses and one of their most important. It has a very distinctive sweet dry and nutty taste to it, put the combinations together and you get a very mild and mellow flavoured hard cheese.

Ok..well first of all you'll need to either go out and buy one of those fairly cheap kits which includes a burner, a "cauldron" and some fondue forks, or put some kind of contraption together to do the same job. I'd opt for the kit. Once you've got that, then comes the fun bit - cooking it. To serve 3-6: ...  Read the complete review

Mouse cheese, yes I am mad! Well mouse cheese is the name my daughter gave to Emmental cheese the first time she saw it! makes sense really as this is a cheese with varying sizes of holes running throughout its body. The taste is sublime, slightly nutty & creamy with a texture not unlike a good edam & not in the least bit rubbery. ...  Read the complete review

Emmental is known as Swiss cheese in some countries. It is mainly produced in German/Swiss areas from cows milk. Its a hard cheese with a creamy texture and mild flavour. This is what I call 'holey cheese' (the texture is so open that it has holes in it.) This is an ideal cheese to serve with fresh bread and red wine. It also ...  Read the complete review
