Words from The French Pantry

Emmental has been made since the 13th century in the mountainous Savoie and France-Comté regions with the sweet, rich, unpasteurized milk from Tarine and Abondance cows. The process of making Emmental requires several stages: It first rests in a cold cellar for several days, then it is moved to a warm cellar for one month. The warmer air causes bacteria in the cheese to transform oxygen into CO2, allowing the elastic texture, pale yellow color and walnut sized holes to develop. As soon as the gargantuan wheel starts to bulge it is moved back into the cold cellar and allowed to mature.

Note about your cheese

• Shipping : cheese is shipped in a triple-layer box liner with insulation and ice packs, providing up to 48 hours of protection.

Due to the specialized packaging and expedited shipping required, cheese does not qualify for free shipping. However, adding non-perishable products to your cart will grant you access to free shipping for those items.​

Please note that we ship from Monday to Thursday (Cutoff Time : 11AM PT) for 1-day delivery, to avoid any weekend delays.

Cheese is shipped as a fresh (not frozen) product.

• Refrigeration : Keep cheese wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, then place it in an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the fridge at 2-6°C (36-43°F) to maintain freshness.

• Serving Temperature : Bring to room temperature (30-60 min) before serving for the best flavor and texture.

• Mold & Safety : Mold does not necessarily mean you need to throw away your cheese!

- Hard Cheeses : If mold appears, simply cut away at least 1 inch around and below the moldy area. The rest of the cheese is safe to eat.

- Soft Cheeses : If mold appears on soft cheeses, it's recommended to discard the entire piece, as the mold may spread beyond the visible area.

• Always inspect your cheese carefully, and if you have any doubts about its safety, refer to the USDA guidelines or contact us for more information.

• Shelf Life : Soft cheeses last about 1-2 weeks, while hard cheeses can last 3-6 weeks if stored properly.
