What it is
These are pre-sliced portions of pasteurized Swiss-style cheese. The cheese is made from milk and undergoes a fermentation process, characteristic of many dairy products. Each slice is uniform in thickness, making it convenient for various culinary applications. The cheese offers a mild, nutty flavor profile that is distinct to Swiss varieties.
