    In a late stage of cheese production, the propionibacteria consume the lactic acid excreted by the other bacteria and release acetate, propionic acid, and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide slowly forms the bubbles that develop the "holes". The acetate and propionic acid give Swiss its nutty and sweet flavor.

    It could be that the Swiss are very Boring people or that they like eating a hole lot of cheese at tea time....

    More so if the Husbands name is Warren .... :)
