Have you ever wondered why some cheeses have those characteristic holes?
In the world of cheese, they aren't called holes, but \"eyes\". Yes, the cheeses also have eyes! And far from being a mistake or a coincidence, they are the result of a fascinating natural process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are they formed the eyes of the cheese?
During the last stages of maturation, certain cheeses, began releasing small bubbles of carbon dioxide. This gas is generated by the action of bacteria propi\u00f3nicas during the lactic fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


These bacteria produce acid, propionic acid, which not only contributes to the creation of the eyes, but also provides that taste so unique and delicious that characterizes cheese as the Maasdam, Gruyere, or the classic Cologne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, these \u201ceyes\u201d that you see when you cut a piece of cheese are not only beautiful to the eye, but also a sign that you're in front of a cheese with character, history... and a lot of flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
