What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese is a hard, pale yellow cheese that is known for its distinctive holes, called eyes. These eyes are formed by the action of carbon dioxide gas during the aging process. The cheese has a mild, nutty flavor that makes it versatile in many dishes. It is typically made from cow's milk.
