Natural Wonder SWISS CHEESE

Swiss cheese is a true natural wonder, completely free of any artificial additives. Unlike other cheeses, it is made without food additives or genetically modified substances.

This makes Swiss cheese an ideal choice for those seeking authenticity and a healthy diet.

With the increasing demand for genuine products, Swiss cheese is the perfect option for those who want to make a conscious choice about what they eat.

​

Did you know that extra-hard cheese and hard cheese are lactose-free?

This is because most of the lactose is removed with the whey during the cheesemaking process, and the remaining lactose is completely broken down during maturation. If you're lactose intolerant, you'll be pleased to know that you can safely enjoy extra-hard and hard cheeses without any discomfort. Semi-hard cheese is also a good option, as it only contains traces of lactose and is generally well-tolerated. However, if you're looking for a creamy spread, you should be aware that cream cheese and soft cheese contain a certain amount of lactose and may not be suitable for you.

So, next time you're looking for a lactose-free cheese option, remember that extra-hard and hard cheeses are your go-to choices!

History of Swiss Cheese

It's no secret that Switzerland has a rich history of producing some of the world's finest cheese. Dating back to the Neolithic period, Swiss cheesemakers have been breeding cattle, sheep, and goats for milk, and exporting cheese from the Alpine regions since ancient times.

The production of hard cheeses in Switzerland began to rise in the 15th century, with the main production regions being Gruyère and Emmental.

As techniques improved, cheese-making became a profession rather than just an accessory occupation for farmers.Cheese makers soon emerged in the alpine and pre-Alpine areas of Appenzell, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Bernese Oberland, and Fribourg.

 Today, Switzerland boasts over 700 varieties of cheese, each with its own unique flavor and texture.

From creamy and mild to sharp and nutty, Swiss cheese has something to offer everyone. So, whether you're a cheese lover or just looking to try something new, Switzerland is the perfect destination to satisfy your taste buds and experience a rich tradition of cheesemaking that has been perfected over centuries.

The Benefits of Swiss Cheese

Most people know how amazing Swiss cheese tastes, but do you know about all the benefits of choosing Swiss?

We know that cheese can sometimes have a reputation for packing on the pounds. And while that may be the case with some cheeses, Swiss cheese is known for being among the healthiest of cheeses. Swiss is lower in fat and sodium, making it an easy choice to fit into your healthful diet.

Let’s cut right to the chase and list out some of the benefits of Swiss:

• Protein: Just one ounce of Swiss cheese packs a whopping 8 grams of protein. Compare that to American cheese at 5 grams.
• Calcium: It’s no secret that cheese is a good source of calcium – and Swiss cheese does not disappoint, with 270mg in each ounce. That’s 22 percent of your daily value!
• Lower sodium: An ounce of Swiss contains just 54mg of sodium, or 2 percent of your daily value. Compare that to the 468mg in an ounce of American cheese.
• Phosphorus: Calcium and phosphorus are critical for bone formation as well as helping to maintain bone density. Swiss cheese contains higher levels of phosphorus than other cheeses.
• Vitamin B-12: When compared with other types of cheeses, Swiss cheese is known to have the most B-12 of any of its peers. B-12 is known for being an essential part of your overall health with particular benefits to your circulatory and nerve health
  
  All that said, we know you won’t really be thinking about all of those benefits when you are slicing up your Swiss cheese or making a recipe to share with your family. But now you know, and we bet that will make it taste even better.

Chäs Äpfel Wähe

Switzerland has been dominating the cheese game since the first century when Roman historian Pliny the Elder mentioned Caeseus Helveticus or Swiss cheese.

THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW: One of the most important flavor characteristics of Alpine cheeses comes from an ancient herding practice called alpage or transhumance, whereby cows were moved from their valley farms to high alpine pastures during the summer months for grazing.
