Because the damn swiss folks really want to sell more cheese,
without actually producing more cheese!
So the proper way is to cut half the cheese out, say that holes
are NECESSARY and IMPORTANT - and then sell twice as much as
before. They are a genius people.
- mark-r 11mo agoIsn't cheese usually sold by weight? So your theory, erm, has holes in it.
- panick21 11mo agoThe fancy Emmentaler sometimes has water in the holes. So that increases the weight.
- mattmaroon 11mo agoLike a White Castle burger!
- IAmBroom 11mo agoNo, White Castle profits are linearly related to BAC (blood alcohol content).
- rootusrootus 11mo agoFun fact - in Switzerland the holes are not permitted. Bonus fact - Switzerland imports more cheese than it exports.
- JumpCrisscross 11mo ago> in Switzerland the holes are not permitted For Emmentaler?
- HelloNurse 11mo agoSomeone might be confusing the large holes of Emmentaler (and imitations thereof) with the smaller and sparser ones of Gruyère.
- ricudis 11mo agoAnd how would they know if my cheese has holes, given that there is a non-zero probability that a random cut over a piece of cheese goes through no holes at all? They would have to make so many cuts that the cheese becomes grated. And grated cheese most definitely doesn't have holes!
- tribaal 11mo agoThis is bullshit, Emmentaler has holes here as well. Source: am Swiss, live in Emmental
- rootusrootus 11mo agoOkay, okay, Wikipedia was wrong about the regulation on the holes, then ;-). Go edit it!
- Kichererbsen 11mo agoFun fact, but also fake news. Emmethaler cheese has holes even in Switzerland. It's the only part of that cheese that tastes any good, so why remove them?
