Swiss Cheese
HanDling tipS Cheese should be refrigerated at temperatures of 35-40F in the original wrapping until ready to use. Store the cheese out of any airflow in the refrigerator as to avoid picking up flavors from other foods. Once opened, rewrap cheese with plastic wrap or foil. For the freshest, best-tasting cheese, rewrap with new plastic wrap or foil each time it is opened.
pairingS Bring out the best flavor in a Swiss cheese by using the following pairings: Fruit: Create a deliciously healthy summer snack by serving fresh Swiss cheese with apples, pears, strawberries and red or green grapes.
Use Swiss cheese as a fondue it melts quickly and lends itself to dipping or pouring. Fondue pots can hold melted Swiss cheese for dipping bread, vegetables, meats and more.
Swiss cheese is a natural cheese made by adding a bacterial starter culture to milk. When the cheese is aged or ripened, this starter culture responsible for the cheeses unique sweet, nutty flavor produces carbon dioxide gas, forming the holes or eyes characteristic of Swiss cheese. There is no heating step after ripening, which would kill the starter culture. It is always present in the cheese. Some carbon dioxide continues to be produced by the starter culture after ripening, sometimes causing the sealed packages to swell or puff. In fact, this is an indication that the package has good seal integrity. If the cheese is stored at or below 40F, very small amounts of gas are produced. Warmer temperatures accelerate the production of this gas. Puffing of sealed packages of Swiss cheese does not indicate spoilage. The cheese is safe to eat and the quality is not affected. The characteristic Swiss flavor and odor will be enhanced because the cheese has undergone additional ripening.
The flavor of cheese is best when eaten at room temperature, so remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes in advance of serving time.
Deli meat: Classic Swiss sandwiches include Swiss and Ham, Swiss and Corned Beef and, of course, the Reuben (Swiss and corned beef with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing). To take a delectably different route, pair the cheese with prosciutto, pastrami, salami or bratwurst.
Beverages: For a savory, refreshing bite, try cranberryraspberry juice or tomato juice when serving Swiss. condiments: Top it all off with specialty mustards, horseradish, cashews and black or green olives for a zesty twist!

Do Your Dairy Due Diligence An estimated 44 million Americans more than half of people ages 50 and older will be impacted by osteoporosis. While osteoporosis mostly affects older adults, prevention can begin at an early age. Girls and boys develop about 85-90 percent of their adult bone mass by the time they are ages 18 and 20, respectively. However, more than 85 percent of girls and 60 percent of boys ages 9 to 18 fail to get the recommended 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day (www.kidshealth.org). So show your bones some love and make calciumrich foods a key part of your diet.

Rye, the Bread of Health Champions! Although wheat products reign supreme on the shelves of supermarkets in the United States, foods made from whole rye are worth finding not only for their rich, hearty taste, but for their numerous health benefits as well. Like most grains, rye is available throughout the year. Rye is a cereal grain that looks like wheat, but is longer and more slender and varies in color from yellowish brown to grayish green. It is generally available in its whole or cracked grain form or as flour or flakes that look similar to oldfashioned oats. Because it is difficult to separate the germ and bran from the endosperm of rye, rye flour retains a large quantity of nutrients, in contrast to refined wheat flour.
