Roundy's Baby Swiss Sliced Cheese
What it is
This is a mild, semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It is characterized by its smooth texture and small, irregular holes, often called 'eyes.' Baby Swiss is aged for a shorter period than traditional Swiss cheese, resulting in a less sharp and more mellow flavor. The slices are conveniently pre-cut, making them easy to use in various dishes. Its creamy taste makes it a versatile ingredient in many recipes.
