What it is

Semisoft and Swiss cheese are types of cheese made from cow's milk. They are characterized by their smooth, pliable texture and the presence of small holes, or 'eyes,' which are formed by gas bubbles during the fermentation process. Swiss cheese, specifically, is known for its nutty and slightly sweet flavor.

Why it's used

These cheeses are commonly used as table cheeses for snacking and in sandwiches, burgers, and salads. They are also popular for melting in cooked dishes like gratins, fondues, and grilled cheese sandwiches due to their excellent melting properties.

Health notes

Semisoft and Swiss cheeses are considered safe and nutritious foods. They are a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like all dairy products, they contain saturated fat and cholesterol, and individuals with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider cheese a safe food product.

Allergen info

Cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
