About Cheese, swiss

Swiss cheese — the holey, pale cheese modelled on Emmental — is firm, mild and pleasantly nutty, with those famous 'eyes' formed by gas bubbles during aging. A reliable melter and sandwich cheese, it's a fixture of grilled sandwiches, fondue and the deli counter.

It's a good source of calcium and high-quality protein, with phosphorus and vitamin B12, and — usefully — it's one of the lower-sodium cheeses, which sets it apart from saltier options like feta and parmesan. Like all firm cheeses it's still calorie-dense and contains saturated fat.

Mild, melty and comparatively low in salt, Swiss is an easy, crowd-pleasing cheese — generous on calcium and protein without the heavy salt hit of stronger varieties.
