how do the bubbles in swiss cheese get formed?
Emmenthaller or Swiss requires a culture that forms the bubbles
Propionibacterium (Propionibacterium freudenreichii subspecies shermani).
Emmentaler or Emmenthal is a Swiss cheese. It first came from Switzerland. It is named after the Emmental, the valley ... there is a similar "hole-y" cheese from Jarlsberg, Norway.
