Pronunciation: [EM-mawn-tahl] Produced since the 13th century, Emmental is Switzerland's oldest and most important cheese. It's named for that country's Emme Valley and is the swiss cheese after which all others were patterned. The only true Emmental is produced in Switzerland, but the name isn't protected so you'll also find Emmentals from other countries including Austria, France, Denmark, Finland, Germany and the United States.
A microclimate is a local set of atmospheric conditions that differ from those in the surrounding areas, often with a slight difference but sometimes with a substantial one. The term may refer to areas as small as a few square meters or square feet (for example a garden bed or a cave) or as large as many square kilometers or square miles.
