AOP since 1997, the Allgäu Emmentaler is kinda similar to the Swiss Emmentaler albeit they are smaller in sizes and ripens more quickly.
They are made with raw milk from the brown Allgäu cattle that graze the spring meadows that are rich in alpine flowers.
It is considered a domed cheese because of its affinage in warm caves, which promotes propionic fermentation responsible for the holes in its interior.
