The most unforgettable thing said about him is those holes. It was flowered by ‘mice’. Really, something like that was possible, but was that why we never saw it in any market?

When we think of the delicious taste of Swiss cheese, we immediately think of those characteristic holes.

Over the years, many things have been explained about why these holes occur. Cheese that makes our mouths water when we see it in cartoons. Of course, the Swiss cheese wasn’t full of holes because of the mice.

Bacterial cultures, which are central to the cheese-making process, are of great importance.

These cultures while consuming lactic acid They produce carbon dioxide gas, which, in simple terms, causes the formation of characteristic holes in the cheese.

Consider the intense activity in cheese factories: Thousands of microorganisms work together and each works to create the unique taste and texture of cheese. The reason for the holes in this cheese lies in a special type of bacteria called propionibacterium.

This is a non-motile bacterium.

Don’t mind, these are the ingredients in the cheese. They are very effective at producing carbon dioxide. They collect the lactic acid left over from the metabolic activities of other bacteria and convert it into carbon dioxide.

Here’s the gas stuck in cheese which creates those famous “holes”.
