Président Emmental

Président Emmental is the French Emmental range of the Président brand of the Lactalis group. It is a hard cow's milk cheese with a pressed, cooked paste and eyes.

The core product is Emmental Cœur de Meule: Président selects pieces from the heart of the wheel, where, according to the brand, the paste is most tender and the taste fruitiest. The cheese is made in France from French milk; wedges come in 250, 400 and 500 g, plus a mini format and a version with 30% less salt.

The range also includes grated Emmental Râpé Fondant (including a version with 25% less salt), Tranches Emmental Cœur de Meule slices, Tranches d'Emmental Baguette for sandwiches, Les Bâtonnets Emmental sticks and Pavés fondants à l'Emmental portions. Alongside it the brand sells grated Comté and the Râpé 3 Saveurs mix.

Emmental melts well, so it goes into gratins, croque-monsieur, omelettes and pasta bakes, while the slices are used in breakfast sandwiches. Keep the cheese in the fridge, tightly wrapped.
