Swiss cheese
Definition:
A generic term for cheeses that have a pale yellow, slightly nutty-flavored flesh with large holes. American Swiss cheeses were patterned after Switzerland's world-famous emmentaler and gruyère cheeses. These Swiss-style cheeses are good for sandwiches and salads and have excellent melting properties. See also cheese.
