The Entremont brothers from Haute-Savoie were among the first people in France to predict the success of Emmental. As early as the 1950s, they brought the first Emmental wheels down from the mountain pastures to be matured in their ripening rooms in Annecy (Haute-Savoie).
Emmental is a ‘fromage de garde’ (meaning it improves with age), which is known for its superior taste and is fast becoming a leading name at hypermarket and supermarket cheese counters. It takes pride of place on cheese boards but is also becoming the cooking ingredient of choice in its grated form.
