History
of Swiss Cheese
It's no secret that Switzerland has a rich history of producing some of the world's finest cheese.
Dating back to the Neolithic period, Swiss cheesemakers have been breeding cattle, sheep, and goats for milk, and exporting cheese from the Alpine regions since ancient times.
The production of hard cheeses in Switzerland began to rise in the 15th century, with the main production regions being
Gruyère and Emmental.
As techniques improved, cheese-making became a profession rather than just an accessory occupation for farmers.
Cheese makers soon emerged in the alpine and pre-Alpine areas of Appenzell, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Bernese Oberland, and Fribourg.
Today, Switzerland boasts over 700 varieties of cheese, each with its own unique flavor and texture.
From creamy and mild to sharp and nutty, Swiss cheese has something to offer everyone. So, whether you're a cheese lover or just looking to try something new, Switzerland is the perfect destination to satisfy your taste buds and experience a rich tradition of cheesemaking that has been perfected over centuries.

​
Did you know that extra-hard cheese and hard cheese are lactose-free?
This is because most of the lactose is removed with the whey during the cheesemaking process, and the remaining lactose is completely broken down during maturation. If you're lactose intolerant, you'll be pleased to know that you can safely enjoy extra-hard and hard cheeses without any discomfort. Semi-hard cheese is also a good option, as it only contains traces of lactose and is generally well-tolerated. However, if you're looking for a creamy spread, you should be aware that cream cheese and soft cheese contain a certain amount of lactose and may not be suitable for you.
So, next time you're looking for a lactose-free cheese option, remember that extra-hard and hard cheeses are your go-to choices!
