Emmental

You learn a new word everyday. I had never heard the word emmental  till I saw it on Chez Louis board as I was passing by.

Emmenthal is a semihard Swiss cow's milk cheese. It is distinguished by large walnut-sized holes or "eyes" formed during the fermentation process. It ranges from mild and buttery to fruity and full-flavored, depending on its maturity. It has good melting properties and is a traditional ingredient in cheese fondue.
