Like yogurt, cheese is made by adding live bacteria to milk!. The resulting fermentation gives off gasses and it is the bacteria that is used in making Swiss cheese that is responsible for the large holes!. One of the three bacteria used in Swiss cheese is Propionibacter shermani!. For some reason this bacteria makes the the cheese's distinctive larger holes!.
Once P!. shermani and other bacteria are added to the milk mixture it is warmed and bubbles of carbon dioxide form!. The bubbles come together to create the large holes!. In the cheese industry the holes are called "eyes!."
Interestingly, USDA regulations state that the holes in Swiss cheese must be between 11/16 and 13/16 inches in diameter

I was always told that the little mice, cheese checkers, would test samples by drilling holes in the big blocks of cheese at night!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
They are air bubbles that remained when the cheese aged and hardened!.
