Emmental cheese, also spelled Emmenthal and Emmenthaler, is one of many Swiss cheese types, but in the United States the term is not widely used: instead a similar cheese is called Swiss.

OBS

Swiss cheese is also called Emmentaler cheese. [It] is a hard, pressed, rennet-curd cheese with a mild, sweet, nut-like flavor. The presence of holes or "eyes" is a characteristic of this cheese.
