How do those?!


Question: holes get in Swiss cheese?


Answers: holes get in Swiss cheese?

those are made by the cheese gnomes. they do that when noone's looking, they're pretty sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeaky.

Are the mice at it again?

Duh! You use milk from "hole cows!" (it's chocolate milk- you use a chocolate cow!)

The bacteria give off gases that make the bubblies while the cheese is still soft.

itz bcoz of a microbe called Propionibacterium..........which produces gas.........these gas bubbles break as the cheese solidifies and form holes

The holes are gas bubbles that build up during the fermentation. In the original block, they are ball shaped, and when it's sliced they come out as round holes.

Farts, Yep just bactieria farts. The little guys eat too much cheese curd and get gas.
Now you know why the Swiss have bad breath......... they eat bacteria farts.

Basically theres 3 kinds of bacteria's in this cheese. 'Propionibacter shermani' is one of the three types of bacteria used to make Swiss cheese, and it's responsible for the cheese's distinctive holes. Once P. shermani is added to the cheese mixture and warmed, bubbles of carbon dioxide form. These bubbles become holes in the final product. Cheesemakers can control the size of the holes by changing the acidity, temperature, and curing time of the mixture. Incidentally, those holes are technically called "eyes," and the proper Swiss name for the cheese is Emmentaler (also spelled Emmental or Emmenthaler).

I hope I helped!

I think that it is caused by small nuclear bombs going off in the cheese while it is being processed!

Gee I think that A machine does it, I have never thought
of this before LOL !!

The Air Was There; The Pieces of Cheese Formed Around It...!!

haven't you ever noticed I keep nibbling off them when you are asleep? I'm poor and I'm hungry.
