Do you know why Swiss cheese has holes?

The term Swiss cheese does not refer to where the cheese comes from, but to the type of cheese, or rather how the cheese is made.
Swiss cheese is always described as cheese with holes. It has a nutty yet sweet taste.
It's also very low in salt compared to other cheeses, says Dr. Mark Johnson, a distinguished scientist at the Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin.
For the first time it was made in the 14th century in Switzerland, more precisely in the Alps.
"It was a hard cheese that had a long shelf life and could easily be transported to the mountains where it was produced. However, today the term Swiss cheese does not refer to where the cheese comes from, but the type of cheese, the way the cheese is made", he explained, writes Reader's Digest.
"Cheese makers add a special bacteria called Propionibacterium shermanii. This bacterium ferments lactic acid and produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide collects in certain places in the cheese and creates large bubbles. "No other cheese has this, except Swiss and other versions of Swiss cheese, such as baby Swiss, Masdam, Jarlsberg and Emmentaler," explains Dr. Mark Johnson
