Extract

Cheese of the Swiss (Emmenthaler, Gruyère, Danish-Swiss) type is popular on the continent of Europe and in America, but severe losses in ripening are caused by contamination with anaerobic sporeformers. Active gas production by the clostridia during ripening causes distension and spoiling of the cheese which becomes unmarketable.
