| When talking about Swiss, those in the know separate Swiss from Baby Swiss. Not sure which one you have? Check the color and size of the holes. Swiss will be shiny and pale yellow, with large holes. Baby Swiss will be ivory to pale yellow, with small holes. Swiss can range from sweet to sharp, and is generally nutty and semi-hard. Since its flavor is mellow, it enhances sandwiches made with ham or prosciutto, salami and pumpernickel. For nibbling, try it with cherries, apples, pears, green grapes or toasted almonds. Baby Swiss is buttery, sweet and only slightly nutty, and generally semi-soft and creamy. Try it with sweet fruits and berries, croissants and muffins. |
