Emmental (in Latin Emmental) is a Swiss cheese made from cow's milk. Cheese wheels of this variety weigh as much as 75 kilograms, and some reach even more - 100 kg! This cheese has a bright spicy-sweet taste. Of course, it is generally considered to be an exclusively Swiss product, since its preparation was originally developed in the Bern region, the Emme Valley (hence the corresponding name). But in the modern world there are many manufacturers of Emmental, naturally distinguished by their names, such as:
- Emmentaler Switzerland (manufacturing country Switzerland),
- Emmental Francais Est-Central (manufacturing country France),
- Emmental de Savoie (prepared in Germany and Finland).
A characteristic feature of this variety are large holes. They are obtained as a result of a specific production process. Carbon dioxide is released by cheese bacteria, which in turn creates these specific cavities.
Alpine shepherds were the first to prepare this culinary delight. They boiled milk in huge containers. After the formation of clots, the curd mass was transferred to bags and placed under a press - flat, heavy stones. In general, the entire process of preparation and aging took 3.5 months. If you see that there is a Grand Cru prefix on the packaging, this indicates that raw milk is used in the preparation, and the ripening period is 1.5-2 years. This is an even more elite product: Emmental Grand Cru.
Emmental is a hard cheese; it has a dense mass, slightly elastic. The cheese head is covered with a bright yellow rind that smells like freshly cut grass. These products have an impressive shelf life. They can be stored for a very long time - for decades, without losing their taste. With all the above advantages, this high-protein product has fairly low fat content, which makes it accessible for consumption by bodybuilders and athletes on a strict diet. So we highly recommend it to all bodybuilders and fitness models. Be sure to include it in your daily diet. And in addition to this, it has long been known that emotional mood and training, or rather, its quality, directly depend on what we eat. The amazing taste and aroma of this food will charge you with positivity for a long time, thereby inspiring new qualitative progress in your training...
