Emmental Français Est-Central

Emmental Francais Est-Central is a cooked, mould-pressed cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk that must mature for at least ten weeks before it is ready for consumption and is produced in several regions in East-Central France. The cows feed exclusively on grass and hay, and the milk is collected daily, making sure that it is in top quality.

As the maturation process takes a long time, the texture of this particular cheese becomes softer, the holes form throughout the body and the local flora gives the cheese its fruity taste. One wheel weighs approximately 70 kg. It is best to take it out of the refrigerator half an hour before consuming it, either with a slice of bread, used in salads, sandwiches or in fondues.
