What it is
This is finely grated Emmental cheese, a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It originates from the Emme valley in Switzerland, though this version is produced in France. The cheese is known for its mild, nutty flavor and its characteristic holes, which form during the aging process. Grating the cheese makes it convenient for immediate use in various dishes, melting beautifully and adding a rich taste.
