Emmental is a cheese of Swiss origin.
Even if they were strongly inspired by their counterparts in Franche-Comté who already had the mastery of the manufacture of hard pasta before them.
The Emmental de Savoie has incomparable properties: it gratinates without burning, it develops an excellent "streak" and preserves a melting texture
