About
The average serving of lacy swiss, sometimes sold as lowfat swiss cheese. Lacy swiss cheese is sometimes mistakenly called baby swiss. The reason for the confusion is that baby swiss cheese looks very similar to lacy swiss cheese. Both cheeses are marked by smaller and more prevalent holes than the traditional swiss cheeses made in Europe, like Jarlsburg, Emmthaler, and Gruyere. Yet lacy swiss cheese is not a European cheese, and is instead an American product, with significant difference in taste and ingredients.
