- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> in Switzerland the holes are not permitted For Emmentaler?
- HelloNurse 1y agoSomeone might be confusing the large holes of Emmentaler (and imitations thereof) with the smaller and sparser ones of Gruyère.
- ricudis 1y 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 1y agoThis is bullshit, Emmentaler has holes here as well. Source: am Swiss, live in Emmental
- rootusrootus 1y agoOkay, okay, Wikipedia was wrong about the regulation on the holes, then ;-). Go edit it!
- Kichererbsen 1y 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?
