Switzerland Swiss Cheese 50

Switzerland Swiss cheese is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It is known for its distinctive holes, which are formed by gas bubbles produced by specific bacteria during the aging process. It has a mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor.

Swiss cheese is commonly used as a table cheese, in sandwiches, and as a melting cheese in dishes like fondue, gratins, and casseroles. Its flavor complements a variety of foods, and its meltability makes it ideal for cooked applications.

Swiss cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists cheese as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many food additives, but specific evaluations for Swiss cheese as a whole food are not typically published in the same way as for individual additives. Excessive sodium intake can contribute to high blood pressure, according to the FDA's Daily Value of 2,300 mg.
