Switzerland. Mountain Cheese

Description

Switzerland is famous for producing the finest mountain cheeses in the world, and three quarters of these are still made with raw milk. Host Will Studd samples Raclette and learns how it's made over a wood fire. Then he's off to the picturesque town of Gruyere to trace the origins of a cheese whose name literally means 'head monk'. A meeting with the king of Swiss cheese, Emmanthaler, finally answers the age old question; how does it get those holes?
