Amul Emmental Cheese

Presenting Amul's Emmental Cheese with holes

This famous cheese with a Swiss taste owes its name to the Emmental valley, near Berne in Switzerland. In this famous valley, the tradition of Cheese-making has flourished in the skilled hands of sennen, the local Alpine cowherds. The production of Cheese in Emmental valley can be traced to as far back as 1290 AD.

One of the most striking features of Emmental is the `holes' or the `eyes', as they are popularly called. Amul Emmental Cheese has a sweet-dry flavour and hazelnut aroma. This cheese is normally available in the form of a wheel, having convex edges and is covered with a dry-hard rind which is golden-yellow in colour. This rind is to be removed before consumption. Emmental is a ready to eat platter cheese and goes best with wines & cocktails. As opposed to the commonly available processed cheddar cheese, Emmental is actually a `live' cheese, i.e. it has live bacteria, which continue the ripening process, even after the cheese is packed and placed on the retail shelves. However, it is a 100% vegetarian coagulating enzyme.
