Swiss Cheese

Regardless of where you live, you've most likely come across a version of Swiss Cheese. The 'holey' cheese has become a global phenomenon. However, what you may be familiar with and enjoy is not Swiss cheese, but rather Emmental.

Based on the sheer number of cheese options available to locals, Switzerland is arguably the home of cheese. Including everything from soft and stinky to hard and delicious cheeses. As you can see, Emmental isn't the only cheese available in Switzerland.

Wherever you go in Switzerland, you can pick up some certified local gems like Gruyere (also popular around the world) or alpkäse (alpine farmer's cheese). Swiss cheese isn't a specific type of cheese in this country, but rather a catch-all term for anything cheesy.

The best way to navigate the scene is to visit one of the major supermarket chains and collect a bundle of all the cheeses that interest you. You can now travel the country like a dairy expert now that you know your favorites.
