Answer 6

Swiss cheese is made by heating cow's milk at high

temperatures and then lifting the curd from the whey

in one mass in a fine-mesh net. This mass is then

shaped into blocks, salted with strong brine, wrapped to

prevent drying, and stored for six to eight weeks to

ferment at 80º Fahrenheit. During the weeks of curing, the

cultures begin to grow causing the body of the cheese to

break down, the holes to form and that great Swiss cheese

flavor to develop. The famous "holes" in Swiss cheese develop

because of the gas that occurs naturally from the breakdown of

milk sugar in the cheese. The cheese maker takes periodic samples

to determine that the holes of the cheese are properly developed.
