History of Our Local Swiss

Our locally made Amish cheese closely resembles the original Swiss Emmental Cheese, which was originally produced in the Swiss canton of Bern. Our local cheese has a distinctive appearance, as the blocks of the cheese are riddled with holes known as “eyes”. Swiss is known for its nutty, bittersweet taste. These distinct features has transformed swiss into one of the most iconic cheeses around!

In general, the larger the eyes in a Swiss cheese, the more pronounced its flavor; this is because the same conditions that lead to large eyes—longer aging or higher temperatures—also produce a stronger flavor. This poses a problem for makers of pre-sliced Swiss. Cheese with large eyes doesn’t slice well, sometimes coming apart in mechanical slicers. This costs time and money and is one reason why US manufacturers usually produce a product less aged and flavorful than the Amish cheese made in North Central Ohio.

Baby Swiss is another related cheese. Made by substituting water for the milk’s whey to slow bacterial action, Baby Swiss has smaller holes and a milder flavor. Baby Swiss is made from whole milk. Lacy Swiss is a further variety of US small-hole Swiss made with low-fat milk.
