How Swiss Emmentaler Cheese Is Made | Regional Eats
In the US it's known as 'Swiss cheese'. Emmentaler has iconic holes in it, and it's also the world's largest cheese. We visited the Emmentaler Shaukaeserei in town of Affoltern in Emmental, east of Bern, to see how it's made. Eighty percent of the production of all Emmentaler AOP comes from this region, with 150 producers.

How Swiss Emmentaler Cheese Is Made | Regional Eats
Anyone else here bc they watched like 2 videos on cheese and have suddenly had their recommended flooded by cheese videos.
here
Yep
HAAHAHHA ME
I was watching a video on how to repair my washing machine. SMH.
lol, yep, pretty much.
Now that looks like the cheese I've seen watching cartoons,growing up Cheeeeeeese
Some Tom and Jerry shit there
want to see some real cheese fans kzhead.info/sun/h9yYfth5jImEnXA/bejne.html thats a real cheese fan
Pause at 2:50 . Look into the water. Is that a bug? That black thing
Yes
Bichhhh i was gonna say that but in tom and jerry
Show: "It's a hilly region, so it's good for cattle grazing" Me: mental image of cows rolling uncontrollably down hills...
Schizo

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats how milkshakes are made
Goddamnit you make me choke don't eat while scrolling through comment everyone
This cheese can only be produced in these regions in Switzerland *proceeds to circle half of the country.

Right?😂
German Switzerland.
a few months ago I watched a Dutch TV program where they test the authenticity of products. It was about Milka alpine milk chocolate the brand with the well-known white-purple cow from the "alps". When the investigation was over, it turned out that the milk did not come from the Alps at all. The packaging says alpine milk and their advertising is always in the alps LOL they fooled everybody
It's a small country
My brain : It's definitely important to learn how the Swiss cheese is made at 2 a.m before going to sleep 👍👍
Kareem Taha hahah oh my god I’m doing the same thing. Thank god I’m not the only one..
6:21 am and i have to get up at 8 😫
*And Parmesan* 👌
I was going to sleep 3AM then my brain decided that i would want to watch some cheese videos , so it's 6AM now :)
lol
This is where Tom and Jerry were discovered

That guy who was talking about the cheese had such a calm voice. Even the choice of background music is awesome. Loved watching it. Almost felt like I'm in Switzerland
He wants your money...

I absolutely love how every cheese maker in Europe thinks theirs is the pinnacle of perfection and eveyone is making counterfeit cheese.
Ahem... *cheese war 2*
@@tomterry2662 Different cheeses cant be compared, form the cattle's feeding which can have tons of different bacteria affecting the milk to the way its stored you can get far different cheeses, not even comparing the diversity in the actual cheese making processes. Counterfeit cheese, as mentioned before, is cheese that doesn't meet the requirements to be called the type they're imitating which ends up *maybe* being a close copy but not really equal, same thing with designer clothes. I'm not saying that Europe has "the best cheese", as there isn't an actual best cheese, but given that europe has been making cheese centuries before the USA were even created it is more statistically inclined.
Jay Cie I worked with a guy from Switzerland and he worked with a cheese maker and he did exactly what you are saying lol
Tom Terry milk.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005192
Tom Terry 200 years making cheese, many types of cheese in Europe have been made for 700 years. France has a huge emphasis on delicious cheese Americans couldn’t understand
Can we appreciate how beautiful that country side is??? My god its gorgeous
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!
I saw swiss cheese for the first time in my life in Tom & Jerry .... Edit: I just shared my sweet memory..thanks for 1k like❤
Cheap & dale
Good times
@@tenebriswoof8675 chip
True that
My thoughts exactly
I need to stop watching these, I'm starting to form plans in my head to take myself and my father on a trip across Europe to taste cheeses at the source.
Dew it
That actually sounds like an awesome plan and you should totally do it.
Do it
If you have the opportunity and the resources, do it, and enjoy it for all that can't afford the trip
A European cheese field trip is my dream vacation. U.S. importers do a great job of transporting and handling their wares, but it’s only at the source where you can get the full impact. I could almost smell the beautiful aroma of the Emmental as that guy cut it open.
In Mexico, we use other traditional methods, such as wrap the cheese in banana tree's leafs (i'm not sure if it's safe or a bad practice). It really interested me. Thank you for be inspired to do this video. Hugs!
Wrapping food in banana leafs is also common pratcice in East Asia. It surely is safe
In mexico you wrap a cheese with a banana, in swiiss they wrap a cheese with a brand, it will increase the price of the cheese 200%
Growing up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn born and raised 🇮🇹💯% I'm really lucky for my family on both sides keeping Italian traditions alive was really important and that included cuisine and i absolutely loved the different types of 🧀 we had around the house from 🇮🇹🇳🇱🇫🇷🇨🇭🇩🇪🇬🇷🇬🇧 and it wasn't until I was older that i could really appreciate it because i learned to try just about anything when i was little
I had a really cheesy joke ready, but it had too many holes!

swiss cheese is nostalgic to me..... Tom & Jerry introduced swiss cheese in my life

@@skd2697 k bro too late plus im not a hindu
Me also
This is a delicious cheese! Soft in texture and is not that salty. I love eating it in sandwiches, salads and pastas!
And I believed in my childhood that the holes were made by Jerry and his co-mice gang.😌
Lol
@@rexshepherd826 😁
Same here
Wonderful, the logic of a child's mind!
@@RusTsea196T 😁
One of the most iconic cheeses. I remember Tom and Jerry everytime i see these
This is it swiss cheese the cheese that in the cartoons . It does exist!
why do all american call it swiss cheese?
@@danemon8423 "Swiss" instead of "Emmentaler" is just easier to incorporate into American culture. We aren't intending to offend Switzerland by using a different name. Familiarizing it through simplification actually brings higher demand and therefore revenue for these wonderful cheese producers.
@@danemon8423 its easier and also makes sense because it is however produced in Switzerland
@@labeebchy00I understand but what i mean is that it's confusing, for exemple if a swiss or a french came to the us and asked for swiss cheese it means they will only gve him emmentaller. I have no problem against it but it's confusing
@@danemon8423 not really, like we know how its called elsewhere so we would call it like that. (Howewer we would never buy it elsewhere for the most time) and there are so many different cheeses in Switzerland, so we eat a lot of different ones. (Eg many smaller Farmers in the alps make them and sell them locally, these usually dont have holes but are still my favorite ones)
Being Swiss, this is one of my favorite cheeses
I'm Norwegian/French English.. one of my favorites too..
@@valeriehaider3273 Traitor! Jarlsberg > Emmentaler :P Just joking, they both taste great.
American here. It's absolutely my favorite cheese!
can you eat it right away?
its the most popular cheese we use for sandwiches here in finland.
That is beautiful cheese, good bless the cheese makers.
I swear google, I clicked that one cheese video out of boredom. I dont need all these recommendations.
Cesar Feijoo me too 😂 I clicked one cheese video from these guys and now, my whole recommended is flooded with “Food Insider” videos about how different types of cheese is made lmao
You watched it, though, didn't you? Don't lie... Your taste buds yearn.
The aged one is so good. Also apropriate for lactose intolerant people like me. It took me a lot of time to get used to the strong swiss chesses bit it is so worth it. Even if it is expensive.
Haha, if you think swiss cheese is "strong," I don't know how you would handle most other types...😂
@@Birdylockso I mean, to be fair - they are lactose intolerant.
Try limburger cheese from monroe wisconson u.s a. Thats strong cheese now.
@@potatoch1psThen they should avoid dairy products all together….
@@kovy689matured cheese has way less lactose,approx. less than 0.01g per 100g,hence it's very suitable and safe for lactose intolerant people
I absolutely LOVE Swiss cheese, my all-time favorite cheese. By the way, it is one of the most healthful cheeses out there!! ❤
Yea Swiss cheese is the best
I love the Regional Eats series. Please make more!!!
Pay them
Thank you so much for sharing how you create your magical cheese! Love that there is so much love and care that goes into making it!😊🌷🌼
That's why swiss food has the best quality on the planet. It's not about quantity, it's about quality.
Very, very cool! Thank you.🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely my favourite cheese the aroma of this cheese is fantastic I miss this cheese since I live in Turkey we hv learned from Swiss to make this cheese in the 19th but they have changed the aroma and named this kars gravyer
Everyone: omg Tom & Jerry's cheese! Me: How can I marry someone who owns a cheese factory? 🧀🤤
😂😂😂😅
Why would you? Just make your own.
I swear to god that its the most discussing cheese u will ever eat it taested like a full gout in my mouth aaghhhh
@@jeonmanar do you mean disgusting
sorry i miss pronounced
I really like finding videos that explain the process of how cheese is made.
Thanks to tom and jerry, I thought this is what all cheese looked like. Hollow, spacious and ideal for yodeling inside

The most visually appealing cheese to my eyes
I would add that this cheese is exquisite and has a nutty flavor, that it pairs perfectly with fruits and nuts, and that it naturally contains no lactose. it's a perfect cheese
Videos like these make me really passionate for cheese
I was there last month! Beautiful town! Delicious Swiss cheese!
Whenever a video made by FOOD INSIDER appears on my recommended it’s guaranteed every time it will be about cheese

Hi Melani!
So yummy and soo delicious!😋😋
The amount of things i know about cheese from binge watching these videos at 2 in the morning is unhealthly
I love Swiss cheese. 🧀🇨🇭 Especially on sandwiches 🥪. And as my favorite snack cheese too. 😋
I'm in love with the efforts of the skilled person.
I really wanna have a place in my kitchen with my cheese collections 😂 now it's one of my goals!
gracias por compartir esta valiosa informacion de como se hace
no one: *_inserts jerry living on a cheese_*

As a kid i used to think swiss cheese was shot multiple times to give it those holes 😂
Yeah, ya thought that because of watching the Three Stooges. I get you; I watched the same episode too lol
This videos are satisfying
Thx for this 👍

@@LauraMoonlightTM gross!
2:50 i guess that's a free extra bug
it's disgusting, they didn't even removed it for the camera. makes you wonder what is going on when the camera is not on. for the past 10 years or so, the west standards are getting lower and lower. we need to do something about this.
the workers there must be migrants from 3-rd world countries...
@@itsMe_TheHerpes bruh they cant tell the bug not go for a swim
Is it actually a bug? I've eaten this cheese really often and I've never seen any kind of thing that wasn't meant to be in there. 🤷♀️
@@itsMe_TheHerpes no. Why?
I used to want to get interested in cheese with holes which are from the Tom and Jerry cartoons while I was young. I wondered if cheese with such holes actually exist in real life. After seeing this video, I now realize that it actually exists. Thank you!
I loveeee this type of cheese💕
“What you can see is the springy **snap** kind of rubbery texture of it...”
The cheese and the place where it's made are beautiful!! I was here to see the cheese but look at those scenery!!
I sAw the workings going on in A Cheese Factory many years Ago on T.V. and been in Love with it every since.
Dude I love cheese and youtube is recommending these videos and I love it
I liked this cheese when I lived there
But Kim, why not now?

@@xcept1281 Well it's obvious when you take a closer look in fullscreen, and you can see the legs.. Also, those black numbers you mentioned, they put them in buckets with the cheese before it's formed... But this bug was not in the bucket and the cheese, you can see the cheese is already formed... This was some other liquid
I loooooooooove this cheese. So good 😍😍
If I had the exact cheese every time KZhead recommends a video of it, I could probably take over Italy right away.
Красота 😍
OOH YEAH CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL Y'ALL 👏 IT LOOKS DELICIOUS TOO
I’m eating Swiss cheese right now and watching this because I’m visiting Switzerland in September.
I ate Original Emmentaler, and few local ones based on swiss recipes and methodology. Taste is super similar, but very different from let's say dutch cheeses like Gouda
The fact that the milk for making this cheese must come from within 20 km is a huge plus. You know you get Swiss quality from start to finish. On Italian TV it was mentioned that Parmesan cheese is made with milk coming from Romania - due to lower costs.
I love cheese so much. It's God's gift to earth in my opinion
fascinating!!
I click one random cheese video and now I’m ten videos into a cheese deep dive. Why do I do this to myself?
It’s the cheese’s doing...not yours lol
I came from nasty blue cheese to this
For those who don't know this is a type of cheese made in Switzerland, Europe.
And in france too
@@professionalobese5529 can we copystrike France?
I'm pretty sure that's already explained in the same video that you commented on.

So Swiss cheese is made in Switzerland?
Nope, in Uganda.
yeah i thought that obvious. xD
No, it's made in Brazil you idiot.

Yall are dumb its definitely made in antartica
"Only in these regions" Half the country. anyway, I love Swiss cheese 😋
The other half are mountain regions and produce different kind of cheeses. Like Gruyère for example, my personal favourite.
Proud to have worked on the project where we implemented the analysis allowing the distinction of originial and fake using the basteria
Awesome
I SEARCHED UP CHEESE ONCE AND MY WHOLE PAGE IS ABOUT IT-
I've seem multiple "how "certain" cheese is made" videos (mozzarella, paramesan, english etc) and the process is same for everything. Fermentation times are different, and the bacteria that grow on it is different. (along with fungus)
Anyone else watching these videos way past midnight?
Amazing I always wanted to know about Jerry's favorite cheese
I spent years searching for the actual images of the cheese that I saw in Tom and Jerry. Now I may die in peace
Nooooo don't dieee😢
Im supposed to be doing my MRI physics exam..... instead im here watching 2 hours of how cheese is made at midnight
Same
I love that location
Cool!
My childhood cheese exists after all, huh?
Gave you never been to a grocery store or a deli? This is literally behind every cheese counter. 😂. It’s typically sold as “Swiss Cheese” in the US. Please don’t tell me your reference point for cheese is Kraft singles 🤨
